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 :There were shots as I ran.
S6:Staying submerged was only too easy with so much clothing and my army boots.
P:The water was icy, but I stayed until I thought my lungs would burst.
Q:I tripped at theedge and went in with a splash.
R:The minute I came up I took a breath and plunged down again.
S:I ducked down, pushed between two men and ran for the river.

The proper sequence should be

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

Explanation:

The starting statements talks about the shots. The next statement would be the reaction of the speaker after the shots. So statement S states that he ducked down and ran for river. This eliminates option (B) and (D). The next statement would be Q. The continuing statement would be P, as it describes the nature of water that he felt after a splash. R would be the concluding statement as it correctly connects with the last statement given. Thus, the correct sequence is SQPR.
