6.
1. Einstein said P. although more than 900 books had been written Q. his theory of relativity R. who understood S. that there were only twelve people 6. attempting to explain it. A. SRQP B. RQPS C. SQPR D. RPQS E. None of the above/More than one of the above
The correct answer is “SRQP”
The correct sequence to form a meaningful paragraph is as follows:
Einstein said
S. that there were only twelve people
R. who understood
Q. his theory of relativity
P. although more than 900 books had been written
attempting to explain it.
The logic behind this sequence is that the sentence starts with Einstein’s statement (1), then specifies what he said (S and R), introduces his theory (Q), and finally refers to the many books written about it (P and 6).
So, the complete paragraph is: “Einstein said that there were only twelve people who understood his theory of relativity although more than 900 books had been written attempting to explain it. “
Therefore option 1 is correct.
7. Historians consider India’s (P) / begun sometime between(Q)/ modern age to have(R)/ 1848 and 1885(S) A. PQRS B. SRPQ C. PRQS D. SRQP E. None of the above/More than one of the above
The correct answer is “PRQS”
The sentence starts with the main idea, “Historians consider India’s modern age”
This is followed by the action that is taking place “to have begun” (R).
The next part of the sentence explains when this action took place “sometime between 1848 and 1885′ (Q & S).
This sequence of events makes logical sense and forms a complete and coherent sentence.
Thus, option 3 is the correct answer.
Correct sentence: P Historians consider India’s R modern age to have Q begun sometime between S 1848 and 1885.
In the following question, there are six sentences marked Sl, S6, P, Q, R, S. The positions of Sl and S6 are fixed. You are required to choose one of the four alternatives which would be the most logical sequence of the sentence in the passage. S1: While crossing a busy road we should obey the policeman on duty. P: We should always cross the road at the zebra crossing. Q: We must look to the signal lights and cross the road only when the road is clear. R: If there are no signal lights at the crossing, we should look to the right, then to the left and again to the right before crossing the road. S: If the road is not clear we should wait. S6: We should never run while crossing a road. A. QRPS B. RQSP C. PQRS D. PSRQ E. None of the above/More than one of the above
The correct answer is “QRPS”
The correct order of the sentences is: “QRPS”
Here are the reasons for the correct order:
Sentence Q introduces the main idea of the paragraph, which is the proper way to cross a busy road.
Sentence R provides more information about the main idea by explaining what to do if there are no signal lights at the crossing.
Sentence P provides further support for the main idea by listing a specific way to cross the road safely.
Sentence S provides a conclusion for the paragraph by summarizing the main idea and providing a final thought on the topic. The sentence states that if the road is not clear we should wait.
In the given question, a sentence has been split into four parts. There are four parts marked P, Q R, and S which have been jumbled up. Rearrange these parts to make a grammatically correct and meaningful sentence without changing the first part. P: did not know Q: he was nervous and R: When he heard the hue and cry at midnight S: what to do A. RQPS B. QSPR C. SQPR D. PQRS E. Not Attempted
The correct answer is ‘RQPS.
To form a coherent sentence, we need to establish a logical order of events and ensure subject-verb agreement. Based on this analysis, the correct arrangement is: RQPS “When he heard the hue and cry at midnight, he was nervous and did not know what to do.”
In this rearrangement:
Part R sets the context by explaining the trigger event, which is hearing the hue and cry at midnight.
Part Q follows by describing his emotional state, indicating that he was nervous.
Part P continues the sentence by expressing his lack of knowledge or uncertainty.
Part S concludes the sentence by specifying that he did not know what to do in that situation.
Overall, this rearrangement creates a grammatically correct and meaningful sentence that conveys the sequence of events and the emotional state of the subject.
In the following question, there are six sentences marked Sl, S6, P, Q, R, S. The positions of Sl and S6 are fixed. You are required to choose one of the four alternatives which would be the most logical sequence of the sentence in the passage. S1: A force exists between everybody in the universe. P: Normally it is very small but when one of the bodies is a planet, like Earth, the force is considerable. Q: It has been investigated by many scientists including Galileo and Newton. R: Everything on or near the surface of the earth is attracted by the mass of the earth. S: This gravitational force depends on the mass of the bodies involved. S6: The greater the mass, the greater the earth’s force of attraction on it. We can call this force of attraction gravity. A. PRQS B. PRSQ C. QSRP D. QSPR
Answer: Option D
Solution: It has been investigated by many scientists including Galileo and Newton. This gravitational force depends on the mass of the bodies involved. Normally it is very small but when the one of the bodies is a planet, like earth, the force is considerable. Everything on or near the surface of the earth is attracted by the mass of earth.
