[amp_mcq option1=”QSRP” option2=”SQRP” option3=”RSQP” option4=”PQSR” correct=”option4″]
The correct answer is D. PQSR
The first sentence, S1, introduces the topic of corruption in the country. The second sentence, P, suggests that there is nothing that the government can do about it. The third sentence, Q, provides evidence of corruption, such as graft and other malpractices. The fourth sentence, R, explains that the impression that corruption is a universal phenomenon persists. The fifth sentence, S, provides more evidence of corruption, such as the fact that several offenders were brought to book but not given deterrent punishment. The sixth sentence, S6, concludes by stating that corruption is a tragedy of great magnitude.
The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the logical order of the sentences. Option A, QSRP, puts the evidence of corruption (Q) before the explanation of the impression that corruption is a universal phenomenon (R). Option B, SQRP, puts the evidence of corruption (Q) before the statement that there is nothing that the government can do about it (P). Option C, RSQP, puts the explanation of the impression that corruption is a universal phenomenon (R) before the evidence of corruption (Q).
