Q:

In the following items, each passage consists of six sentences. The first and the sixth sentence are given in the beginning as S1 and S6. The middle four sentences in each have been removed and jumbled up. These are labeled P, Q, R and S. You are required to find out the proper sequence of the four sentences and mark your response accordingly on the Answer Sheet.

S1 :Why do the English travel?
S6:For here, in cosmopolitan England, one is always exposed to the danger of meeting all sorts of peculiar aliens.
P:Besides, they are taught that travel broadens the mind.
Q:They do so mainly because their neighbor does this and they have caught the bug from him.
R:Although they have now discovered the sad truth that whatever travel may do to the mind, it certainly broadens other parts of the body.
S:But, and perhaps mainly, they travel to avoid foreigners.

The proper sequence should be 

A) R S Q P B) P R S Q
C) S Q P R D) Q P R S
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Q P R S

Explanation:

The starting statement mentions why English travel. So the continuing statement would be talking about the travel. Only statement Q stated the reason of travel. So, Q being the first statement eliminates all other options. Thus, the correct sequence is QPRS.
