Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

In the abovementioned paragraph, there is a chronological sequence of the sentences.
  • Sentence P is the first sentence as the passage begins with "According to the report," which sets the
  • context for what the report contains. The phrase "the 2021 projections" tells the reader that the report is about projections for a certain year.
  • Sentence Q is the second sentence that talks about "recognition of climate change issues." This suggests that the report is going to discuss the issue of climate change and the need for action. Thus it establishes a relation with the previous sentence.
  • The only option that shows such an arrangement is Option 4.
  • Sentence R is the third sentence as it begins with the conjunction "and." It indicates that the report is going to discuss the role of nuclear power in reducing emissions from electricity generation. Thus it provides additional information about the report.
  • Sentence S is the last sentence as it ends with "reducing emissions from electricity generation." This phrase ties together the previous parts of the sentence and suggests that the report is going to discuss how nuclear power can help in reducing emissions.
  • Thus, the correct answer is Option 4.
The correct order is:
According to the report,
  • P. the 2021 projections reflect growing
  • Q. recognition of climate change issues
  • R. and the importance of nuclear power in
  • S. reducing emissions from electricity generation

Correct Order Explanation
The correct order of the sentences to form a coherent paragraph is CBDA. Here’s the detailed explanation of why this is the case:
Sentence C: Introduction of the Flag
- C introduces the national flag, Tiranga, explaining its significance as a symbol of nationalism and freedom.
- It mentions that the flag is made from khadi, which connects it to Indian heritage.
Sentence B: Historical Context
- B follows C by providing historical context, stating when the national flag was officially adopted by the constituent assembly.
- This links the introduction of the flag to its formal recognition in Indian history.
Sentence D: Description of the Flag's Features
- D then describes the physical attributes of the flag, noting that it features three horizontal stripes of equal width.
- This information builds on the previous sentences by providing specific details about the flag’s design.
Sentence A: Symbolic Meaning of the Colors
- A concludes the paragraph by explaining the significance of the colors in the flag, particularly the top band of saffron, which symbolizes power and courage.
- This adds depth to the earlier description by elucidating the meaning behind the flag's colors.
Final Coherent Flow
- The flow from C to B to D and then A creates a logical sequence: introduction of the flag, its historical adoption, description, and symbolic meaning.
- This arrangement effectively communicates the essence and significance of the national flag in a structured manner.
Thus, the correct option is CBDA, which forms a coherent and meaningful paragraph about the Indian national flag.

Answer:

The first sentence among the given options is sentence C, which states: "Read it, reflect over its message and apply it in your life."

Explanation:

To determine the first sentence, we need to analyze the context and logical flow of the statements given.

Context:
The given sentences seem to be discussing the importance of Vedanta and the management of body, mind, and intellect for personal growth and well-being.

Logical Flow:
1. The first sentence should introduce the topic or set the context for the subsequent sentences.
2. It should be followed by statements that build upon or provide further information related to the topic.
3. The sentences should flow logically and coherently to convey a clear message or idea.

Analysis:
Let's analyze each sentence to determine the logical flow and identify the first sentence.

Sentence A: "Vedanta, our most valuable heritage, gives us this understanding."
- This sentence introduces Vedanta as a valuable heritage and suggests that it provides some understanding. However, it doesn't set the context or introduce the topic clearly.

Sentence B: "Body, mind and intellect need careful management and guidance."
- This sentence introduces the concept of managing and guiding the body, mind, and intellect. It provides information related to the topic but doesn't set the context clearly.

Sentence C: "Read it, reflect over its message and apply it in your life."
- This sentence instructs the reader to read and reflect upon something, and then apply it in their life. It sets the context of engaging with a particular text or material.

Sentence D: "If not managed or mismanaged the same instruments that are designed to give us success, happiness, and spiritual enlightenment become the source of strife and stress."
- This sentence introduces the idea that if the body, mind, and intellect are not managed properly, they can cause strife and stress. It builds upon the previous statements and elaborates on the consequences.

Sentence E: "Understand yourself. Your body comprises your outer personality, whereas your inner personality comprises the mind, the realm of feelings and emotions."
- This sentence provides information about understanding oneself and describes the relationship between the body and mind. It provides further details but doesn't set the context clearly.

Conclusion:
Among the given options, sentence C is the first sentence as it sets the context by instructing the reader to read, reflect, and apply something in their life. The subsequent sentences build upon this instruction and provide further information related to the topic.

Ishaan Roy answered
Understanding the Sentence Structure
To rearrange the sentence correctly, we need to analyze the components and their logical flow. The original parts are:
- P: A single uranium pencil eraser
- Q: contains the same energy
- R: as a ton of coal, 3 barrels of oil
- S: or 17,000 cubic feet of natural gas
Correct Order of Components
The correct arrangement is QPRS. Here’s why:
- Q starts the sentence by introducing the main idea, indicating what the subject "a single uranium pencil eraser" contains.
- P follows, providing the subject of the sentence. This establishes that the "single uranium pencil eraser" is what will be compared.
- R then gives a comparison, specifying what the energy is equivalent to, making the sentence more informative.
- S wraps up the comparison with additional examples, enhancing the clarity and impact of the statement.
Logical Flow
- The sentence begins by stating what we are discussing (P).
- It explains what it contains (Q).
- The next part makes a comparison (R) to known quantities of energy (coal and oil).
- Finally, it adds another example (S), making the comparison more relatable.
Conclusion
Hence, the complete and coherent sentence reads: "A single uranium pencil eraser contains the same energy as a ton of coal, 3 barrels of oil, or 17,000 cubic feet of natural gas." Thus, option 'C' (QPRS) is the correct choice.

Aryan Saini answered
C. At the hospital gate, he felt his pockets but found all of them empty.

Explanation:

The sentence "At the hospital gate, he felt his pockets but found all of them empty" should be the first sentence in the paragraph. This sentence sets the scene and introduces the main character, Manoj, as well as establishes the context of the story.

Manoj is standing at the hospital gate, and he realizes that he has no money or any valuables in his pockets. This creates a sense of urgency and sets the stage for the following events in the paragraph.

The sentence also provides a logical starting point for the paragraph because it introduces the problem or conflict that Manoj faces. He is in a difficult situation with no resources, and this sets the stage for the actions he takes next.

By rearranging the sentences, we can form a meaningful paragraph:

C. At the hospital gate, he felt his pockets but found all of them empty.
F. An ambulance carrying a patient passed by him with speed.
E. Manoj could recognize the patient who was his neighbor.
D. Bored with loneliness, Manoj was standing in front of the gate of a park.
A. He halted a taxi and hurriedly instructed the driver to follow the ambulance.
B. The taxi-driver was very kind and allowed Manoj without paying the bill.

This sequence of sentences tells the story of Manoj's encounter at the hospital gate, his recognition of the patient as his neighbor, and his decision to follow the ambulance. The final sentence reveals that the taxi-driver was kind and allowed him to travel without paying the bill.

By starting with sentence C, the paragraph begins with the problem or conflict that Manoj faces, creating a sense of intrigue and drawing the reader in.

A)   Vedanta, our most valuable heritage, gives us this understanding.

Akshara shah answered
B. Body, mind and intellect need careful management and guidance

Understanding the importance of managing and guiding our body, mind, and intellect is crucial for overall well-being and success. Let's break down why this sentence is the second one:

First Reason:
- The first sentence, "Vedanta, our most valuable heritage, gives us this understanding," introduces the concept of Vedanta and its significance in providing us with essential knowledge.
- Following this introduction, it is necessary to delve into how this understanding translates into practical application, which is managing the body, mind, and intellect.

Second Reason:
- The sentence highlights the importance of careful management and guidance for our body, mind, and intellect.
- This sets the stage for the subsequent sentences that elaborate on the potential consequences of not managing these aspects effectively.
Therefore, the second sentence, "Body, mind and intellect need careful management and guidance," logically follows the introductory statement about Vedanta and serves as a foundational principle for the ensuing discussion on the implications of neglecting this management.

A) It seems logical to try to unite these separated functions in the activities of basic health workers under a participative rural health scheme.
C) A variety of other air-borne or fecally transmitted and water borne diseases, also take their toll.

Explanation:
The paragraph begins by stating the main sources of mortality in India, which are malnutrition, malaria, tuberculosis, and tetanus. It is followed by stating the need for water supply, sanitation, and curative work to combat these diseases, which can be pursued by expensive separate programs with limited success. The paragraph then suggests a solution to unite these separated functions under a participative rural health scheme. Finally, it highlights the prevalence of other air-borne or fecally transmitted and water-borne diseases that also contribute to the mortality rate in India.

Answer to the question:
The fourth statement after rearrangement is sentence B, which talks about the need for water supply, sanitation, and curative work to combat the main sources of mortality in India.

Snehal gupta answered
Explanation:

The fifth sentence in the given paragraph is option D) If not managed or mismanaged the same instruments that are designed to give us success; happiness and spiritual enlightenment become the source of strife and stress.

Reasoning:

To determine the fifth sentence, we need to analyze the logical flow of the paragraph and identify the sentence that comes after the fourth sentence and before the sixth sentence.

The paragraph discusses the importance of Vedanta and how it provides understanding for managing and guiding our body, mind, and intellect. It emphasizes the need to read Vedanta, reflect on its message, and apply it to one's life. The paragraph also highlights the consequence of not managing or mismanaging these instruments, which can lead to strife and stress.

Logical Flow:

1) The paragraph starts by introducing Vedanta as our most valuable heritage, which provides understanding. (Sentence A)
2) It then explains the need for careful management and guidance of the body, mind, and intellect. (Sentence B)
3) The paragraph emphasizes the importance of reading Vedanta, reflecting on its message, and applying it in life. (Sentence C)
4) It further states that if these instruments are not managed or mismanaged, they can become a source of strife and stress. (Sentence D)
5) The fifth sentence should logically follow the fourth sentence and precede the sixth sentence.
6) There is no direct connection between sentence D and sentence E. Therefore, sentence E cannot be the fifth sentence.

Conclusion:

Based on the logical flow and the given options, the fifth sentence in the paragraph is option D) If not managed or mismanaged the same instruments that are designed to give us success, happiness, and spiritual enlightenment become the source of strife and stress.

Sonali kumar answered
The correct answer is option 'A' - F.

Explanation:

The paragraph talks about Manoj's experience when he sees an ambulance passing by him. Let's rearrange the sentences to form a coherent paragraph.

D. Bored with loneliness, Manoj was standing in front of the gate of a park.
F. An ambulance carrying a patient passed by him with speed.
A. He halted a taxi and hurriedly instructed the driver to follow the ambulance.
C. At the hospital gate, he felt his pockets but found all of them empty.
E. Manoj could recognize the patient who was his neighbour.
B. The taxi-driver was very kind and allowed Manoj without paying the bill.

Now, let's analyze the sequence of events in the paragraph:

1. Manoj is standing in front of the gate of a park, feeling bored and lonely.
2. Suddenly, an ambulance carrying a patient passes by him.
3. Manoj, realizing that the patient is his neighbor, decides to follow the ambulance.
4. Manoj halts a taxi and instructs the driver to follow the ambulance.
5. At the hospital gate, Manoj realizes that he has no money in his pockets to pay the taxi fare.
6. The kind taxi-driver allows Manoj to travel without paying the bill.

Based on this sequence, it is clear that sentence F - "An ambulance carrying a patient passed by him with speed" should be the second sentence in the paragraph. This sentence introduces the incident that prompts Manoj's actions in the subsequent sentences.

Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

  • S1: Trade and transport have been very significant in the progress of human life.
    • This sentence introduces the importance of trade and transport.
  • P: For a long time trade and transport moved within the restricted boundaries of space and time.
    • This sentence provides a historical context, detailing a past limitation of trade and transport, which logically follows a general statement about their significance.
  • R: However, with the developments in the field of science and technology, trade and transport have spread all over the world.
    • The word "However" indicates a contrast to the "restricted boundaries" mentioned in P, introducing the modern reality of widespread trade and transport due to technological advancements. This is a strong transitional link.
  • S: The world has, as a consequence, become one big village and distances have become immaterial or, to be more precise, distances seem to have shrunk.
    • The phrase "as a consequence" directly links to the widespread nature of trade and transport described in R, explaining the effect of shrinking distances and a globalized world.
  • Q: This has been made possible by the development of a fast and efficient transport and communication system.
    • The pronoun "This" refers to the phenomenon of the world becoming a "big village" and distances shrinking, as described in S. Q then explains the underlying cause: the development of advanced transport and communication systems. The mention of "communication" here is crucial for linking to S6.
  • S6: Thus, trade transport and communication complement each other.
    • This concluding sentence synthesizes the elements discussed (trade, transport in S1, P, R, S; and communication introduced in Q), stating their complementary nature, which is a logical summary.
  • The sequence P-R-S-Q creates a coherent flow: historical context (P), modern spread (R), consequences of spread (S), and the underlying technological enablers (Q), leading to the final summary (S6).
Coherent paragraph after rearrangement:
S1: Trade and transport have been very significant in the progress of human life.
P: For a long time trade and transport moved within the restricted boundaries of space and time.
R: However, with the developments in the field of science and technology, trade and transport have spread all over the world.
S: The world has, as a consequence, become one big village and distances have become immaterial or, to be more precise, distances seem to have shrunk.
Q: This has been made possible by the development of a fast and efficient transport and communication system.
S6: Thus, trade transport and communication complement each other.

Meaningful Paragraph Formation:
Enormous difference is generally observed in the ways in which various public officials respond to public pressures. The means and methods they employ to deal with public pressures are also different. The poorest are over-hesitant, evasive and preoccupied with their relationships with others. They confront all embarrassments with stale general formula. The best possess understanding of the forces that must be taken into account with determination not to be swerved from the path of public interest. They will make no move unless the gallery is packed.

Explanation:
The paragraph discusses the different responses of public officials to public pressures and how the best officials possess a strong understanding of the forces that must be considered when making decisions in the public interest. The poorest officials are preoccupied with their relationships with others, while the best officials are not swayed by external pressures and will only act when necessary.

Second Sentence:
The second sentence of the paragraph should provide further context for the discussion of public officials' responses to public pressures. Sentence A, "The means and methods they employ to deal with public pressures are also different," is the most appropriate second sentence. This sentence follows logically from the first sentence, which introduces the topic of different responses to public pressures, and provides a more specific focus on the means and methods used by public officials in dealing with these pressures.

Important Points
  • Practice is key! Regularly practicing rearranging sentences or paragraphs will improve your ability to discern logical sequences and enhance your overall comprehension skills.
  • When facing questions that require rearranging sentences or paragraphs to form a coherent sequence, consider the following steps:
    • Read Carefully: Go through each sentence attentively to understand its context, topic, and the information it provides. Note any connecting phrases or words that link sentences together.
    • Identify the Logical Flow: Look for clues within the sentences that indicate a sequence. Sentences might introduce a topic, provide details, give examples, or conclude the idea. Pay attention to time markers, cause-and-effect relationships, or other transitional phrases.
    • Start with Key Points: Sometimes, certain sentences act as introductory or concluding statements. Begin with sentences that introduce the topic or provide a conclusion, as they often set the context or summarize the content.
    • Connect Related Ideas: Identify relationships between sentences. For example, a sentence might explain or support the idea presented in the previous sentence. Look for coherence and progression in the ideas presented.
    • Consider Keyword Consistency: Check for keywords or recurring themes that link sentences. These can help establish a logical sequence. Pay attention to pronouns (he, it, they) referring to previously mentioned subjects.
    • Evaluate Options: Once you have a tentative sequence, review it to ensure that the ideas flow logically and coherently. Eliminate options that disrupt the logical flow or create inconsistencies.
    • Test the Flow: Mentally or visually run through the proposed sequence to verify if it reads smoothly and makes sense. Ensure that there's a clear progression from the beginning to the end.
    • Double-Check: Before finalizing your answer, double-check the sequence to confirm that it presents a cohesive and logical progression of ideas.

Ssc Cgl answered
  • The sentence begins with the subject "The families in India", which is correctly indicated by the first part of the sentence.
  • Next, the phrase "are ready to spend more money" follows logically after the subject, as it indicates the action being performed.
  • The action is clarified further with "on male children’s education than on female children", which completes the sentence meaningfully and logically.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option (4).
Additional Information
  • Option 1: The sentence structure is incorrect and places emphasis on female children, which changes the intended meaning.
  • Option 2: The structure of the sentence is grammatically incorrect and does not follow a logical flow.
  • Option 3: The arrangement of words is incorrect and does not form a meaningful sentence.

Arranging the Sentences to Form a Paragraph:

B. Even very advanced countries like Britain have been losing some of their scientists to the U.S.A

E. The brain drain is a problem not peculiar to India.

D. But in their case they lose only a few scientists and on the other hand they gain scientists from various countries.

A. We only lose scientists.

C. But for India, it is a one-way traffic.

Explanation:

The paragraph talks about the problem of brain drain, which is not limited to India only. The paragraph starts by stating that even very advanced countries like Britain have been losing some of their scientists to the U.S.A (sentence B). Then it says that the brain drain is not a problem peculiar to India (sentence E). The next sentence talks about the situation in other countries, where they lose only a few scientists and gain scientists from various countries (sentence D). The paragraph then comes back to India and states that India only loses scientists (sentence A). Finally, the paragraph concludes that for India, it is a one-way traffic (sentence C).

Answering the Question:

The question asks which of the sentences should come second in the paragraph. The correct answer is option 'B', which is "Even very advanced countries like Britain have been losing some of their scientists to the U.S.A". This sentence sets the context for the paragraph and introduces the problem of brain drain. It shows that the problem is not limited to less developed countries like India but is also faced by advanced countries like Britain. Hence, it is important to mention this sentence early in the paragraph.

The question below consists of a set of labeled sentences. Out of the four options given, select the most logical order of the sentences to form a coherent paragraph.

Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Ssc Cgl answered
  • Sentence P will be the first sentence of the sequence because it tells about the story of human life.
  • Sentence R will come after P because it mentions humans make mistakes, errors, etc., or capable of making mistakes or being wrong.
  • Sentence Q will come after R because it is explaining while gaining experience, all human makes mistakes, errors, etc. and learn from their experience.
  • The sentence 'S' is the concluding part because it is concluding that every human being makes errors and mistakes due to a lack of knowledge and experience.
  • Hence, 'S' makes the last part.
Correct Sentence: Human life is a tale of errors and follies, nobody is infallible we all commit errors and mistakes out of ignorance or inexperience, in the process of acquiring experience, man often stumbles and falls down.
  • Important Rules to Solve the Sentence Jumbles:
    • Read the sentences attentively and try to comprehend the idea or theme of the sentences.
    • Try to identify the opening and closing sentences.
    • Try to identify the mandatory pairs. Two sentences can be connected through various connectors and other determinants.

EduRev SSC CGL answered
  • S1: The National Forest Policy (1952) has outlined that the desired forest area of a country must be at least 33 per cent of the geographical area.
    • This sentence introduces the policy and the desired forest cover percentage.
  • Q: This was felt to be necessary for maintaining the ecological balance.
    • The pronoun "This" refers to the 33 percent desired forest area mentioned in S1, and Q explains the reason for this policy target. This creates a strong cause-and-effect link.
  • P: However the present forest cover is only 23 per cent, much lower than the desired percentage.
    • The word "However" indicates a contrast with the ideal scenario (33%) presented in S1 and Q, introducing the current, lower reality (23%). This logically follows the discussion of the ideal.
  • S: This creates difficulties for millions of people who live in the fringe areas of forests and depend upon the forests for their livelihood.
    • The demonstrative "This" in S refers to the low forest cover (23%) mentioned in P, detailing a direct socio-economic consequence of this disparity. This forms a strong problem-consequence link.
  • R: Some land is termed as wasteland; this includes rocky, arid and desert areas.
    • Following the discussion on forest cover and its human impact, the paragraph transitions to categorizing other types of land. R introduces "wasteland" as one such category, providing examples.
  • S6: Some land is termed as land put to other non-agricultural uses; this includes settlements, roads, railways, industries, etc.
    • This concluding sentence introduces another category of land use ("non-agricultural uses"), parallel to "wasteland" in R, continuing the broader discussion of land utilization.
  • The sequence Q-P-S-R provides a coherent flow: stating the policy goal (S1), explaining its rationale (Q), presenting the current shortfall (P), detailing the human impact of the shortfall (S), and then diversifying into other land classifications (R, followed by S6).
Coherent paragraph after rearrangement:
S1: The National Forest Policy (1952) has outlined that the desired forest area of a country must be at least 33 per cent of the geographical area.
Q: This was felt to be necessary for maintaining the ecological balance.
P: However the present forest cover is only 23 per cent, much lower than the desired percentage.
S: This creates difficulties for millions of people who live in the fringe areas of forests and depend upon the forests for their livelihood.

  • b)
    B       
  • c)
    C  
  • d)
    D
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Explanation:
In order to determine the correct second sentence, we need to analyze the given options and identify the logical flow of ideas. Let's break down each sentence and examine their content:

Sentence A: This practice enhances spirituality and makes the individual an intellectually developed person.
This sentence talks about the benefits of a particular practice, but it does not provide any context or connection to the other sentences. It seems to be a standalone statement.

Sentence B: This holy month of Ramadan comes to its conclusion with the festival of Eid-al-Fitr, which is the festival of the breaking of the month-long fast.
This sentence introduces the festival of Eid-al-Fitr, which marks the end of the month-long fast of Ramadan. It provides some context and sets the stage for further discussion.

Sentence C: In other words, the month of Ramadan is meant for the acquisition of divine wisdom from the Book of God to make one a more awakened person.
This sentence explains the purpose of the month of Ramadan - to acquire divine wisdom from the Book of God. It provides a deeper understanding of the significance of Ramadan and its connection to personal growth.

Sentence D: During the month of Ramadan, people practice fasting. This fasting has a greater purpose; that is, studying the Quran and finding the deeper meaning of the word of God.
This sentence highlights the significance of fasting during Ramadan and connects it to the study of the Quran and the search for deeper meaning. It builds upon the idea introduced in Sentence C.

Sentence E: Breaking the fast in its extended sense is bringing to an end the secluded life that was required during the month of Ramadan.
This sentence explains the concept of "breaking the fast" in a broader sense, as the end of a secluded life that was necessary during Ramadan. It provides additional context and expands on the theme of personal transformation.

Based on the above analysis, it is clear that Sentence C should be the second sentence. It introduces the purpose of Ramadan and sets the stage for further discussion about the practices and significance of the month. Sentence B can then follow to provide more context about the festival of Eid-al-Fitr.

Solution:

The given sentences are:

A. The means and methods they employ to deal with public pressures are also different.
B. They will make no move unless the gallery is packed.
C. The poorest are over-hesitant, evasive and preoccupied with their relationships with others.
D. Enormous difference is generally observed in the ways in which various public officials respond to public pressures.
E. The best possess understanding of the forces that must be taken into account with determination not to be swerved from the path of public interest.
F. They confront all embarrassments with stale general formula.

The correct sequence of these sentences to form a meaningful paragraph is:

C. The poorest are over-hesitant, evasive and preoccupied with their relationships with others.
B. They will make no move unless the gallery is packed.
D. Enormous difference is generally observed in the ways in which various public officials respond to public pressures.
A. The means and methods they employ to deal with public pressures are also different.
E. The best possess understanding of the forces that must be taken into account with determination not to be swerved from the path of public interest.
F. They confront all embarrassments with stale general formula.

Explanation:

The paragraph discusses the different ways in which public officials respond to public pressures. It begins by stating that the poorest officials are hesitant, evasive, and preoccupied with their relationships with others (sentence C). This implies that they are not proactive in addressing public pressures.

The next sentence (B) states that these officials will not take any action unless they have public support, indicated by a packed gallery. This suggests that they are more concerned with public opinion than actually addressing public issues.

Sentence D highlights the enormous difference in the ways different public officials respond to public pressures. This further emphasizes the variations in their approaches.

Sentence A states that these officials employ different means and methods to deal with public pressures. This reinforces the idea of diversity in their responses.

Sentence E introduces the concept of "the best" officials who possess an understanding of the forces that must be considered and are determined to prioritize public interest. This contrasts with the poorest officials mentioned earlier.

Finally, sentence F states that these officials confront all embarrassments with a stale general formula. This implies that they have a fixed approach to dealing with challenges, indicating a lack of flexibility.

Therefore, the correct sequence is C, B, D, A, E, F, making option B the correct answer.

Rohan Shukla answered
The third sentence is option C) "Read it, reflect over its message and apply it in your life."

Explanation:
In order to determine the third sentence, let's analyze the given options and understand the logical flow of the statements.

A) Vedanta, our most valuable heritage, gives us this understanding.
This statement introduces the concept of Vedanta, emphasizing its value and the understanding it provides. However, it does not provide any specific instructions or actions to be taken.

B) Body, mind and intellect need careful management and guidance.
This statement highlights the importance of managing and guiding our body, mind, and intellect effectively. It sets the foundation for the subsequent statements but does not provide any instructions or actions either.

C) Read it, reflect over its message and apply it in your life.
This statement instructs the reader to engage with Vedanta by reading it, reflecting on its message, and applying it in their life. It provides a clear directive on how to approach Vedanta and make it a practical part of one's life.

D) If not managed or mismanaged the same instruments that are designed to give us success; happiness and spiritual enlightenment become the source of strife and stress.
This statement explains the potential consequences of mismanaging the instruments of body, mind, and intellect. It expands on the idea introduced in statement B but does not provide any specific instructions or actions.

E) Understand yourself. Your body comprises your outer personality, whereas your inner personality comprises the mind, the realm of feelings and emotions.
This statement emphasizes the importance of self-understanding by distinguishing between the outer personality (body) and the inner personality (mind, feelings, and emotions). While it provides valuable information, it does not offer any instructions or actions to be taken.

Considering the logical flow and the presence of clear instructions, it can be concluded that the third sentence is option C) "Read it, reflect over its message and apply it in your life."

A) This practice enhances spirituality and makes the individual an intellectually developed person.
B) This holy month of Ramadan comes to its conclusion with the festival of Eid-al-Fitr, which is the festival of the breaking of the month- long fast.

EduRev SSC CGL answered
  • The sentence begins with "broken promises," which is correctly indicated by part (P).
  • Following the subject, "lead to disappointment" (PQ) continues the logical sequence, making it clear what broken promises lead to.
  • The next part, "and sorrow" (RS), concludes the sentence by describing the emotional effect.
Therefore, the correct answer is PQRS.
Additional Information
  • Option 2 (PQSR): This option places "and sorrow" before "disappointment," disrupting the logical flow of the sentence.
  • Option 3 (RQPS): This sequence starts with "disappointment and sorrow" before introducing the cause, which makes the sentence incomplete and illogical.
  • Option 4 (RQSP): This option mixes the conclusion with the cause, resulting in a sentence that lacks coherence.
