[amp_mcq option1=”QPRS” option2=”RSPQ” option3=”SRPQ” option4=”SRQP” correct=”option3″]

The correct answer is: C. SRPQ

The first sentence, S1, introduces the topic of the passage, which is the dangers of unnecessary timidity. The second sentence, P, clarifies that the author is not talking about extreme forms of defiance. The third sentence, Q, provides an example of how timidity can make a situation worse. The fourth sentence, R, provides a more general explanation of why timidity is dangerous. The fifth sentence, S, provides a specific example of how public opinion can be tyrannical towards those who are afraid of it. The sixth sentence, S6, provides a conclusion to the passage, which is that it is important to stand up for what you believe in, even if it means going against public opinion.

The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the logical flow of the passage. Option A, QPRS, puts the example before the explanation. Option B, RSPQ, puts the conclusion before the evidence. Option D, SRQP, puts the evidence before the introduction.
