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 :Jumbo, the famous 3.3 metre elephant was born in Africa over a hundred years ago.
S6:Before his death in September 1882, he had been seen by over 20 million Americans.
P:After disembarkation in New York, he was taken in a procession to the place where he was to be kept.
Q:Another admirer was the famous American showman Barnum who bought it for a huge sum in February 1882.
R:Transported from his native land to London Zoo, he became a favourite of Queen Victoria.
S:He made his transatlantic voyage aboard SS Assyrian Monarch.

The proper sequence should be 

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

Explanation:

The starting statement is talking about the birth of a 3 –3 metre elephant –Jumbo. So, the connecting statement would be discussing what happened after the birth. So statement R would be the next statement as it describes that he was transported to London; So, R being the first statement eliminates all other options. Thus, the correct sequence is RQSP.
