S1: The December dance and music season in Madras is like the annual tropical cyclone. P : A few among the new aspirants dazzle witht he colour of youth, like fresh saplings. Q : It rains an abundance of music for over a fortnight. R : Thick clouds expectation charge the atmosphere with voluminous advertisements. S : At the end of it one is left with the feeling that the music of only those artists seasoned by careful nurturing, stands tall like well-routed trees. S6: Many a hastily planed shrub gets washed away in the storm. The Proper sequence should be: A. RQPS B. QRPS C. RQSP D. QRSP

The correct answer is D. QRSP.

The first sentence, S1, introduces the topic of the paragraph: the December dance and music season in Madras. The second sentence, P, provides a specific example of the abundance of music that is available during this season. The third sentence, Q, describes the atmosphere of anticipation that surrounds the season. The fourth sentence, R, provides a metaphor for the season, comparing it to a tropical cyclone. The fifth

sentence, S, provides a conclusion to the paragraph, stating that only the music of those artists who have been carefully nurtured will stand the test of time. The sixth sentence, S6, provides a final example of the ephemeral nature of the season, stating that many of the new aspirants will not be able to withstand the storm.

The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the logical order of the

sentences. For example, option A, RQPS, places the sentence about the atmosphere of anticipation before the sentence about the abundance of music. This is not logical, as the atmosphere of anticipation is created by the abundance of music. Option B, QRPS, places the sentence about the metaphor before the sentence about the atmosphere of anticipation. This is also not logical, as the metaphor is used to explain the atmosphere of anticipation. Option C, RQSP, places the sentence about the conclusion before the sentence about the metaphor. This is also not logical, as the conclusion is based on the metaphor.
