• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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

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.
