[amp_mcq option1=”PQRS” option2=”QPRS” option3=”RPQS” option4=”SRPQ” correct=”option3″]

The correct answer is: C. RPQS

The first sentence, “We talk about democracy, but when it comes to any particular thing, we prefer a man belonging to our caste and community,” sets up the problem that the author is addressing. The second sentence, “It means our democracy is a phoney kind of democracy,” states the author’s main point. The third sentence, “We must be in a position to respect a man as a man,” provides evidence to support the author’s main point. The fourth sentence, “Our weakness for our own caste and community should not influence our decision,” provides more evidence to support the author’s main point. The fifth sentence, “Favouritism and nepotism have been responsible for much discontent in our country,” concludes the argument.

The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the logical order of the sentences. Option A, PQRS, puts the author’s main point before the evidence that supports it. Option B, QPRS, puts the evidence before the problem that the author is addressing. Option D, SRPQ, puts the conclusion before the evidence that supports it.
