Question

Arrange the parts P, Q, R, S to form a complete and meaningful sentence:
Do or die was the call (P) that Gandhi gave (Q) when he asked the British to quit India (R) to all freedom fighters. (S)
The correct sequence should be:
(a) QPRS
(b) PRQS
(c) RSPQ
(d) PQSR

Answer 1

Hint: The first sentence we choose should be in continuation with the next and form a cause-effect relationship. Also, focus on accurately bringing out the main idea expressed in the given statements. The above-given sentences talk about Gandhi and freedom fighters.

Complete answer:
The introductory sentence of a passage should talk about the topic and help in introducing it. It is crucial to read the options and understand the motive behind them.
The first sentence should introduce the slogan initiated. The second sentence should disclose who established the slogan. The third sentence should introduce the object or to whom the slogan was announced to and the last sentence should explain why the slogan was established.
Hence, the correct sequence based on the given criteria is PQSR.
Now, let’s examine the given options-
Option a- ‘QPRS’ is an incorrect option because we cannot begin the sentence with ‘that’.
Option b- ‘PRQS’ is an incorrect option because it forms an illogical sentence.
Option c- ‘RSPQ’ is an incorrect option we cannot begin the sentence with the pronoun ‘he’. We need to disclose the subject.
Option d- ‘PQSR’ is the correct option because it forms a logical sentence. Hence, the correct answer is Option ‘d’.

Note:
 Whenever we need to arrange different sentences in a sequence to form a meaningful passage; we need to highlight the topic explained and justified in the sentences.
