[amp_mcq option1=”QPRS” option2=”RPQS” option3=”RPSQ” option4=”RQPS” correct=”option3″]
The correct answer is: C. RPSQ
The correct sequence of the sentences is:
- R: In these days, food gets more refined and cooking methods are more intricate.
- P: As a result, what is lost is the natural goodness of roughage and important nutrients.
- Q: Invariably, fat and sugar which cause obesity are added to make food more palatable.
- S: Therefore, there are more obese people today than ever before.
- S6: This is because today’s changed life styles often mean less physical exertion and an over indulgence in unhealthy food.
The first sentence (R) introduces the topic of the paragraph, which is the increase in obesity in modern times. The second sentence (P) explains one of the reasons for this increase, which is the refinement of food and the use of unhealthy cooking methods. The third sentence (Q) provides further detail on this reason, explaining that these methods often involve adding fat and sugar to food. The fourth sentence (S) states the main conclusion of the paragraph, which is that there are more obese people today than ever before. The fifth sentence (S6) provides a further explanation for this conclusion, which is that modern lifestyles often involve less physical activity and more unhealthy eating habits.
The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the logical order of the sentences. For example, option A (QPRS) puts sentence Q before sentence P, which does not make sense because sentence P explains the reason for the statement made in sentence Q. Option B (RPQS) puts sentence R before sentence P, which also does not make sense because sentence P explains the reason for the statement made in sentence R. Option D (RQPS) puts sentence R before sentence Q and sentence P before sentence S, which does not make sense because sentence P explains the reason for the statement made in sentence Q and sentence S is the main conclusion of the paragraph.
