The correct sequence should be

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

Explanation:

Since, the starting statement carries a subject; S will be the first statement as it talked about the world’s fastest computers. The next statement describes the initial use of the same and the statement that follows states the new uses of the computers as environmental tools. Thus SQRP is the correct sequence and thus form a coherent paragraph.

The correct formation would be, ‘The world’s fastest computers initially conceived for military purposes are finding various new uses as environmental tools.

Q:

A sentence with one blank is given, indicating that something has been omitted. Choose the word that best fits the blank appropriately.
You will have to undergo a _______ of tests before the interview.

A) Large B) Series
C) Design D) Booklet
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Series

Explanation:

The trick here is to follow the structure of the statement. The blank is followed by 'of' and thus the blank will take a filler that can be followed grammatically by 'of' and also manages to give a proper meaning. On the basis of these filters, none of the options except option 2 makes any sense.
