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 :History shows that the growth of civilization depends upon the gifts of nature, particularly the wealth yielded by the soil.
S6:In fact, most of the wars in the beginning of humanity’s history were fought for the gain of territory.
P:The more land they had, the more they were satisfied.
Q:The nature and the quality of the land they possessed were of great importance to them.
R:All ancient communities worked hard to produce food.
S:There was also a great desire among them to possess as much land as possible.

The proper sequence should be

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

Explanation:

The sentence starts with the history showing how the growth of civilization depends upon nature. So the next sentence in sequence will be statement R as it shows how the ancient communities produced food. Also, all other option carries a pronoun. So, the preceding statement will have a noun. R being the next statement makes all other options invalid. Thus, the correct sequence is RQSP.
