S1: Some old people are oppressed by the fear of death. P: An individual human existence should be like a river-small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past boulders and over waterfalls. Q: In the young there is a justification for this feeling. R: Young men who have reason to fear that they will be killed in battle may justifiably feel bitter in the thought that they have been cheated of the best thing that life has to offer. S: But in the old man who has known human joys and sorrows, the fear of death is somewhat object and ignoble, and the best way to overcome it is to make your interests gradually wider and more impersonal. S6: Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea and painlessly lose their individual being. The Proper sequence should be: A. PQSR B. QPSR C. QRSP D. RSQP

[amp_mcq option1=”PQSR” option2=”QPSR” option3=”QRSP” option4=”RSQP” correct=”option1″]

The correct answer is: A. PQSR

The first sentence, S1, introduces the topic of the passage, which is the fear of death. The second sentence, P, provides a metaphor for human life, comparing it to a river. The third sentence, Q, discusses the fear of death in the young. The fourth sentence, R, discusses the fear of death in the old. The fifth sentence, S, provides a solution to the fear of death. The sixth sentence, S6, concludes the passage by restating the metaphor of the river.

The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the logical order of the sentences. Option B, QPSR, starts with the third sentence, Q, which discusses the fear of death in the young. However, this sentence does not make sense without the context of the first sentence, S1, which introduces the topic of the passage. Option C, QRSP, starts with the fourth sentence, R, which discusses the fear of death in the old. However, this sentence does not make sense without the context of the second sentence, P, which provides a metaphor for human life. Option D, RSQP, starts with the fifth sentence, S, which provides a solution to the fear of death. However, this sentence does not make sense without the context of the first sentence, S1, which introduces the topic of the passage.
