[amp_mcq option1=”PQRS” option2=”QSRP” option3=”RSQP” option4=”SQPR” correct=”option4″]
The correct answer is: D. SQPR
The sentence “From the moment its members meet, it begins to have a sort nebulous life of its own” is the most general statement, and it is followed by the sentence “As the meeting opens, he runs briskly through a number of formalities”, which provides more specific information about the meeting. The next sentence, “In the middle of one side of the square sits the Chairman of the committee, the most important person in the room”, introduces the chairman of the committee and his role. The final sentence, “On him rests much of the responsibility for the success or failure of the committee”, provides more information about the chairman’s responsibility.
The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the logical order of the sentences. Option A, PQRS, starts with the sentence “On him rests much of the responsibility for the success or failure of the committee”, which is not the most general statement. Option B, QSRP, starts with the sentence “As the meeting opens, he runs briskly through a number of formalities”, which is not the most general statement. Option C, RSQP, starts with the sentence “In the middle of one side of the square sits the Chairman of the committee, the most important person in the room”, which is not the most general statement.
