Question

Directions: In the following questions, different parts of a sentence/passage have been jumbled. Choose the option that represents the best sequence to make the sentence/passage coherent and meaningful. Ignore punctuation marks.

P: The environmental problems the world is facing

Q: As it is called, will not reverse global warming

R: Going dark has its uses, Earth Hour

S: But it is a good way to raise awareness about

• A. PSQR
• B. RQSP
• C. SQPR
• D. QPRS

Hint:

Find the sentence that can open the passage without pointing back to an earlier idea, then trace what each connecting word or pronoun needs next.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Look for the sentence that can open the passage on its own, without needing a word that points back to something already said.

1. PSQR: This starts with P, which says "the environmental problems the world is facing" as if the reader already knows what problems are meant. There is no earlier line to supply that context, so this cannot open the passage.
2. RQSP: R opens by naming the subject, Earth Hour, and says going dark has its uses. Q follows with "as it is called", which renames Earth Hour and adds that it will not reverse global warming. S then turns the idea with "But it is a good way to raise awareness about", and P finishes by naming what the awareness is about, the environmental problems the world is facing. Each line flows into the next without any dangling reference. This order is correct.
3. SQPR: This starts with S, which begins with the word "But". A contrast word like "but" needs an earlier statement to contrast with, so a passage cannot open on this line.
4. QPRS: This starts with Q, which begins "As it is called". The phrase "it" and "is called" both need a noun that was introduced earlier, which is missing here, so this cannot be the first line.

Only RQSP builds a chain where every sentence connects cleanly to the one before it, so option RQSP is correct.
