C) QP
D) PQ

Answer 1

Hint:Sentence ordering is to arrange the sentences in a logical order. A number of linguistic tools are used for the demonstration of the order of the sentences, which support you to give a flow in the paragraph.

Complete answer:
Option A) RQ – is an incorrect answer because statement R “Parents who wish to admit their children may write to us in December” and ‘Q’ is “The wider intent is to discover the right living and right relationship with the earth”. R tells about the admission of the student in that school whereas, Q tells about the school. Thus, this is an incorrect option.

Option B) PR - is an incorrect answer because statement P “We strive to cultivate the child’s natural intelligence while building academic excellence and physical fitness” states how students can grow and R “Parents who wish to admit their children may write to us in December” states about the admitting the students in school. Thus, this is an incorrect Option.

Option C) QP – is an incorrect answer because sentence Q “The wider intent is to discover right living and right relationship with the earth” tells about the school and sentence P “We strive to cultivate the child’s natural intelligence while building academic excellence and physical fitness” also tells about the school but their sequence is wrong. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.


Option D) PQ – is the correct answer because PQ is the correct sequencing in the formation of paragraphs. Because PQ tells about the school or defines the quality of school. Thus, this is the correct order.

Hence, the correct answer is Option ‘D’.

Note:In this question we have to make the correct order of the sentence. Sentence R is talking about admitting the child to the school whereas the other two sentences are talking about the school, as are the sentences S1 and S4. So, sentence R is inappropriate here. This eliminates options A and B. Logically, sentence P, which is introducing the school, should come before the sentence Q which is a continuation of the same. So, the correct answer is option D i.e. PQ.
