The following five sentences form a paragraph. The first and last sentence are given in order. Arrange the rest of them (P, Q, R) to form a logical sequence in the paragraph:

S1. About a hundred years ago, a man looked at the morning newspaper.
S2. ______________________________________.
S3. ______________________________________.
S4_______________________________________.
S5 When he regained his composure, his second thought was to find out what people had said about him.
P- His first response was of shock.
Q- And to his surprise and horror read his name in the obituary column.
R- The newspapers had reported the death of the wrong person by mistake.

• A. RPQ
• B. PQR
• C. QRP
• D. RQP

Answer 1

The correct option is C QRP

The first sentence makes a general statement about the man and the newspaper. The next sentences should sequentially explain what he saw on the paper, his reaction and what was the reason behind the stimulating news. Therefore Option C, that is, "And to his surprise and horror read his name in the obituary column. The newspapers had reported the death of the wrong person by mistake, His first response was that of shock" is correct. The rest of the options do not follow this sequence, hence these are incorrect.
