S1: Evolution is not progress. P: And yet, for all their differences, it is not wholly wrong to identify evolution with progress. Q: As a noted scientist had said,”the tapeworm in its inglorious lot in man’s intestine is an outcome of evolution as well as the lark at heaven’s gate.” R: Three hundred million years after the first land creatures crawled out of the sea, the one-called amoeba is man himself. S: The physical facts of evolution betray such advance. S6: For, like progress, evolution does, over the long run, imply betterment. The Proper sequence should be: A. QPSR B. RPSQ C. SPQR D. SRQP

[amp_mcq option1=”QPSR” option2=”RPSQ” option3=”SPQR” option4=”SRQP” correct=”option4″]

The correct answer is D. SRQP.

The first sentence, S1, states that evolution is not progress. The second sentence, P, introduces the idea that, despite their differences, evolution and progress are not wholly unrelated. The third sentence, Q, provides an example of how evolution can lead to something that is not considered to be progress, such as a tapeworm. The fourth sentence, R, provides another example of how evolution can lead to something that is considered to be progress, such as humans. The fifth sentence, S, provides a general statement about the physical facts of evolution. The sixth sentence, S6, provides a conclusion that ties together the ideas of the previous sentences.

The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the logical flow of the text. Option A, QPSR, puts the example of the tapeworm before the example of humans. This is not logical because the example of the tapeworm is meant to show how evolution can lead to something that is not considered to be progress, while the example of humans is meant to show how evolution can lead to something that is considered to be progress. Option B, RPSQ, puts the statement about the physical facts of evolution before the statement about the general nature of evolution. This is not logical because the statement about the physical facts of evolution is meant to support the statement about the general nature of evolution. Option C, SPQR, puts the conclusion at the beginning of the text. This is not logical because the conclusion is meant to follow from the evidence that is presented in the text.
