S1: If you want to do well in your examinations you need to be able to think for yourself which means not just following the guide-books but write what you think yourself. P: That will not help much. Q: Few if any students do this. R: By discussing things with other students, with your teachers, and with any intelligent people you meet you will find you can pick up a lot of new ideas but it is not good first accepting these ideas, swallowing them undigested and then repeating them in the examination. S: At first you will find it difficult but if you go on trying you will find clear independent thought becomes easier. S6: If however you turn these ideas over in our mind accepting those which you agree with and fitting them into your stock of knowledge and rejecting the others you may get somewhere. The Proper sequence should be: A. PSQR B. QSRP C. RSQP D. SRQP

[amp_mcq option1=”PSQR” option2=”QSRP” option3=”RSQP” option4=”SRQP” correct=”option4″]

The correct answer is D. SRQP.

The first sentence (S1) introduces the topic of the passage, which is how to do well in examinations. The second sentence (P) states that following guidebooks is not enough to do well in examinations. The third sentence (R) provides a suggestion for how to do well in examinations, which is to discuss things with other students, teachers, and intelligent people. The fourth sentence (S) provides a warning about the dangers of accepting ideas uncritically. The fifth sentence (S6) provides a further suggestion for how to do well in examinations, which is to turn ideas over in one’s mind and accept or reject them based on one’s own judgment.

The correct sequence of sentences is SRQP. This is because the second sentence (P) builds on the first sentence (S1) by providing a reason why following guidebooks is not enough to do well in examinations. The third sentence (R) then provides a suggestion for how to do well in examinations, which is to discuss things with other students, teachers, and intelligent people. The fourth sentence (S) provides a warning about the dangers of accepting ideas uncritically. The fifth sentence (S6) then provides a further suggestion for how to do well in examinations, which is to turn ideas over in one’s mind and accept or reject them based on one’s own judgment.

The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the logical flow of the passage. Option A, PSQR, puts the second sentence (P) before the first sentence (S1). This is incorrect because the second sentence (P) builds on the first sentence (S1). Option B, QSRP, puts the third sentence (R) before the second sentence (P). This is incorrect because the third sentence (R) provides a suggestion for how to do well in examinations, which is based on the reason provided in the second sentence (P). Option C, RSQP, puts the fourth sentence (S) before the third sentence (R). This is incorrect because the fourth sentence (S) provides a warning about the dangers of accepting ideas uncritically, which is something that should be considered before discussing things with other students, teachers, and intelligent people.
