[amp_mcq option1=”PQRS” option2=”QSPR” option3=”SQRP” option4=”RSPQ” correct=”option4″]
The correct answer is D. RSPQ.
The first sentence, S1, introduces the topic of the passage, which is Moncure Conway’s devotion to freedom of thought and freedom of the individual. The second sentence, P, introduces the idea that there are now dangers to both kinds of freedom. The third sentence, R, provides more detail about these dangers. The fourth sentence, S, states that something has been gained since Conway’s time in regard to both these objects. The fifth sentence, Q, states that something has also been lost. The sixth sentence, S6, concludes the passage by warning that unless a vigorous and vigilant public opinion can be aroused in defense of freedom of thought and freedom of the individual, there will be much less of both a hundred years hence than there is now.
The following is a brief explanation of each option:
- Option A, PQRS, is incorrect because it places the sentence that introduces the topic of the passage (S1) after the sentence that introduces the idea that there are now dangers to both kinds of freedom (P).
- Option B, QSPR, is incorrect because it places the sentence that provides more detail about these dangers (R) after the sentence that states that something has been gained since Conway’s time in regard to both these objects (S).
- Option C, SQRP, is incorrect because it places the sentence that states that something has also been lost (Q) after the sentence that concludes the passage by warning that unless a vigorous and vigilant public opinion can be aroused in defense of freedom of thought and freedom of the individual, there will be much less of both a hundred years hence than there is now (S6).
- Option D, RSPQ, is the correct answer because it places the sentences in the correct order.
