a) S,R,Q,P
b) Q,P,S,R
c) S,R,P,Q
d) R,S,Q,P

Answer 1

Hint: In such types of questions, one must read the sentence carefully. Check out the subject and predicate of the sentence, and try to find out the main object of the sentence as well.

Complete answer:
The first statement in the sequence should be the one that best connects with the first line. It must link with the first line and should be a proper extension and continuation of the first line. From the given four options, P, Q, R, and S, check which one will fit the best after the first statement.
Now, let us examine all the given options to find out the correct answer :
Option ‘a’ has ‘S’ is used as the continuation of the first one. ‘S' is – ‘from the rest'. It best connects with the first line. It completes the first part of the sentence and is making sense.
Option ‘b’ has ‘Q’ as its continuation for the first part. ‘Q’ is – the most important. It is not making any sense when used after the first part of the sentence, so it cannot be the correct answer.
Option ‘c’ has ‘S’ as its continuation of the first part, but ‘R’ as its second. ‘R’ is – of the animal kingdom. It won’t make any sense when used after ‘S’. So, we will eliminate this option.
Option ‘d’ has ‘R' as its continuation of the first part. It won’t make any sense this way, so this option is also incorrect.
As we have analyzed all the given options, we can easily figure out the correct answer. Here, the correct sentence would be – Of all the things that distinguish man from the rest of the animal kingdom the most important is his brain. Hence, the option ‘a’ is the correct option.

Note:
You must pay attention to the object of the sentence. Check if the sentence is making a logical sense or not. Read the given sentence two to three times, carefully.
