P : In a nuclear power station, we burn water into steam and then use the steam in the same way.
Q : It is from the generator that we get electricity.
R : The steam is then made to turn turbine and through the turbine generator.
S : This heat turns water into steam.

Select the correct sequence.

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

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

S-R-Q-P

Here S R Q P is the only sequence that establishes a coherent paragraph with complete meaning:

"[S1] In an ordinary power station we burn fuel to get heat. [S] This heat turns water into steam. [R] The steam is then made to turn turbine and through the turbine generator. [Q] It is from the generator that we get electricity. [P] In a nuclear power station, we burn water into steam and then use the steam in the same way. [S6] However, instead of getting heat by burning fuel, we get it from the nuclear reactor.

Thus C is the answer.
