S1: Gandhi’s first political fast was made soon after his return from Africa. P: He had also received help from this man’s sister. Q: This was when the poor labourers of the cotton mills of Ahmedabad were on strike. R: He was a friend of the largest mill-owner. S: Gandhi had made the strikers promise to remain on strike until the owners agreed to accept the decision of an arbitrator. S6: He did not fast against the mill owners, but in order to strengthen the determination of the strikers. The Proper sequence should be: A. PQSR B. QSRP C. RPQS D. SRPQ

[amp_mcq option1=”PQSR” option2=”QSRP” option3=”RPQS” option4=”SRPQ” correct=”option3″]

The correct answer is: C. RPQS

Here is a brief explanation of each option:

• A. PQSR
  This option is incorrect because it places S6 before S1. S6 is a detail about Gandhi’s first political fast, which is described in S1. Therefore, S6 cannot come before S1.
• B. QSRP
  This option is incorrect because it places S2 before S1. S2 is a detail about Gandhi’s relationship with the largest mill-owner, which is described in R. Therefore, S2 cannot come before R.
• C. RPQS
  This option is correct because it places R before S1, S2, and S6. R is a general statement about Gandhi’s first political fast, which is then followed by details about the fast. Therefore, R is the best place to start the sequence.
• D. SRPQ
  This option is incorrect because it places S1 before R. S1 is a detail about Gandhi’s first political fast, which is described in R. Therefore, S1 cannot come before R.

In conclusion, the correct sequence is: C. RPQS
