Question

The following six sentences come from a paragraph. The first and the last sentences are given. Choose the order in which the four sentences (PQRS) should appear to complete the paragraph.

S1 : Poverty is a God's curse.
S6 : Is not poverty a God's boon!
P : These persons get themselves enrolled as poor persons and get all the benefits of poverty.
Q : It is not necessary for a person to be actually poor for getting enrolled because it can be easily managed.
R : It may be true for a few but to many, it is just its opposite.
S : Such persons consider it to be a source of enjoying life without earning enjoyment.

The proper sequence should be:

• A. R-Q-P-S
• B. Q-R-S-P
• C. R-S-P-Q
• D. S-R-Q-P

Answer 1

The correct option is C R-S-P-Q

The first statement in the sequence should be the one that best connects with S1. It must be a continuation or extension of S1.

R is first in the sequence: S1 claims that poverty is a God's curse. R responds to this claim by saying that it may be true for a few people but to many, it is just its opposite.

R is followed by S: S starts to explain R's point. It says that many of the people consider it to be a source of enjoying life without earning enjoyment.

S is followed by P: P explains the point made by S. It says that many of these people get themselves enrolled as poor people and reap the benefits of poverty.

Q is followed by Q: Q further explains that. It is not necessary for a person to be actually poor for getting enrolled because it can be easily managed. In lieu of the above discussed topic S6 says 'Is not poverty a God's boon!'.

Thus, the correct sequence is R S P Q. Hence, C is the correct option.
