[amp_mcq option1=”QSPR” option2=”QSRP” option3=”RSQP” option4=”SPRQ” correct=”option4″]
The correct answer is: D. SPRQ
The correct sequence of the sentences is:
- S: A settled, civilised life began only when agriculture was discovered.
- P: From that time to this, civilisation has always been changing.
- R: Ancient Egypt-Greece-the Roman Empire-the Dark Ages and the Middle Ages – the Renaissance-the age of modern science and of modern nations one has succeeded the other; and history has never stood still.
- Q: About ten thousand years ago, man lived entirely by hunting.
- S6: During the last few years change has been even more rapid than usual.
The first sentence (S) states that a settled, civilised life began only when agriculture was discovered. The second sentence (P) states that civilisation has always been changing since then. The third sentence (R) provides examples of how civilisation has changed over time. The fourth sentence (Q) provides a specific example of how civilisation changed when humans began to live by hunting. The sixth sentence (S6) states that change has been even more rapid in recent years.
The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the logical order of the sentences. For example, option A (QSPR) puts the sentence about hunting (Q) before the sentence about agriculture (S). This is not logical because hunting is a way of life that existed before agriculture was discovered. Option B (QSRP) also puts the sentence about hunting (Q) before the sentence about agriculture (S). Additionally, it puts the sentence about the Renaissance (R) before the sentence about the Dark Ages (R). This is not logical because the Renaissance happened after the Dark Ages. Option C (RSQP) puts the sentence about the Renaissance (R) before the sentence about the Dark Ages (R). Additionally, it puts the sentence about hunting (Q) before the sentence about agriculture (S). This is not logical because hunting is a way of life that existed before agriculture was discovered.
