The correct answer is: B. RSQP
The sentence “Satyajit Ray made several films for children” is the most general statement, and it is followed by the sentence “Later film makers have followed his lead.” This shows that Ray was a pioneer in the field of children’s films, and that other filmmakers have been inspired by his work. The sentence “This was at a time when no director considered children as potential audience” provides more context for Ray’s work, and the sentence “Ray was, thus, a pioneer in the field” summarizes the main point of the paragraph. The sentence “But today few think of Ray as a maker of children’s films” is the least relevant sentence, and it should be placed at the end of the paragraph.
Here is a more detailed explanation of each option:
- Option A: PSRQ
This option is incorrect because it places the least relevant sentence at the beginning of the paragraph. The sentence “But today few think of Ray as a maker of children’s films” is the least relevant sentence, because it does not provide any new information about Ray’s work. - Option B: RSQP
This option is correct because it places the most general statement at the beginning of the paragraph, followed by more specific statements that provide context and support for the main point. - Option C: RSPQ
This option is incorrect because it places the least relevant sentence at the end of the paragraph. The sentence “But today few think of Ray as a maker of children’s films” is the least relevant sentence, because it does not provide any new information about Ray’s work. - Option D: SQRP
This option is incorrect because it places the least relevant sentence at the beginning of the paragraph. The sentence “But today few think of Ray as a maker of children’s films” is the least relevant sentence, because it does not provide any new information about Ray’s work.
