We set out for the gallows. Two warders marched on either side of the prisoner, with their rifles at the slope; two others marched close against him, gripping him by his arm and shoulder, as though, at once pushing and supporting him. The rest of us, magistrates and the like, followed behind. Suddenly, when we had gone ten yards, the procession stopped short without any order or warning. A dreadful thing had happened ­ a dog, come goodness knows whence, had appeared in the yard. It came bounding among us with a loud volley of barks, and leapt round us wagging its whole body, wild with glee at finding so many human beings together. It was a large woolly dog, half Airedale, half Pariah. For a moment, it pranced round us, and then, before anyone could stop it, it had made a dash for the prisoner, and jumping up tried to lick his face. Everyone stood aghast, too taken aback even to grab at the dog.

How did the arrival of the dog change the atmosphere of the event?

A) It caused the people to scatter B) It allowed the prisoner to escape
C) It saddened the prisoner even more D) It stunned everyone present there

The proper sequence should be 

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

Explanation:

The starting statement is talking about the scientific description of dinosaurs i.e. Iguanodon. The connecting statement would be the statement describing the physical structure. So, S would be the next statement as it describes the length of the dinosaurs. So, S being the first statement eliminates all other options. Thus, the correct sequence is SRPQ.
