S1: Growing up means not only getting larger, but also using our senses and our brains to become more aware of the things around us. P: Not only does he have a memory but he is able to think and reason. Q: In this, man differs from all other animals. R: Before we spray our roadside plants or turn sewage into our rivers, we should pause to think what the results of our actions are likely to be. S: That is to say, he is able to plan what he is going to do in the light of his experience before he does it. S6: In other words, we must develop and use our ability to reason, because the destruction or the preservation of the places in which we live depends on us. The Proper sequence should be: A. QPSR B. QRSP C. SPQR D. SPRQ

[amp_mcq option1=”QPSR” option2=”QRSP” option3=”SPQR” option4=”SPRQ” correct=”option3″]

The correct answer is: C. SPQR

The first sentence, S1, introduces the topic of growing up and becoming more aware of the world around us. The second sentence, P, provides a specific example of how humans differ from other animals in this regard. The third sentence, Q, provides a general statement about the importance of using our ability to reason. The fourth sentence, R, provides a specific example of how we can use our ability to reason to protect the environment. The fifth sentence, S, provides a summary of the main points of the paragraph. The sixth sentence, S6, provides a final thought on the importance of using our ability to reason.

The following is a brief explanation of each option:

• Option A, QPSR, is incorrect because it places the second sentence, P, before the first sentence, S1. This is not possible because the second sentence refers to the first sentence.
• Option B, QRSP, is incorrect because it places the third sentence, Q, before the second sentence, P. This is not possible because the third sentence refers to the second sentence.
• Option C, SPQR, is the correct answer because it places the first sentence, S1, before the second sentence, P, and the third sentence, Q, before the fourth sentence, R. This is the only option that places the sentences in a logical order.
• Option D, SPRQ, is incorrect because it places the fourth sentence, R, before the third sentence, Q. This is not possible because the fourth sentence refers to the third sentence.
