[amp_mcq option1=”QPRS” option2=”RQPS” option3=”SPQR” option4=”SQPR” correct=”option3″]
The correct answer is: C. SPQR
The first sentence, S1, states that the exact cause of migraine is still not known. The second sentence, P, lists several factors that have been said to be causative factors, including digestive disorders and psychological disturbances. The third sentence, Q, lists certain foods that have been found to trigger off an attack. The fourth sentence, R, states that the causative factors are numerous and that psychologically, anxiety and frustration play an important part. The fifth sentence, S, states that it seems to be hereditary and that a majority of sufferers are women. The sixth sentence, S6, lists common precipitating factors, such as physical overexertion, fatigue, irregularities in dietary habits, and prolonged eye strain.
The correct sequence is SPQR. This is because the first sentence, S1, provides a general overview of the topic, followed by the second sentence, P, which lists specific factors that have been said to be causative factors. The third sentence, Q, then lists specific foods that have been found to trigger off an attack. The fourth sentence, R, provides more information about the causative factors, stating that they are numerous and that psychologically, anxiety and frustration play an important part. The fifth sentence, S, then provides more information about the condition, stating that it seems to be hereditary and that a majority of sufferers are women. The sixth sentence, S6, then lists common precipitating factors.
The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the logical order of the information. For example, option A, QPRS, puts the sentence about specific foods that have been found to trigger off an attack before the sentence about the causative factors. Option B, RQPS, puts the sentence about the causative factors before the sentence about the specific foods that have been found to trigger off an attack. Option D, SQPR, puts the sentence about the specific foods that have been found to trigger off an attack after the sentence about the common precipitating factors.
