[amp_mcq option1=”SRPQ” option2=”SQRP” option3=”PSQR” option4=”QPRS” correct=”option3″]
The correct answer is: C. PSQR
The correct sequence of the sentences is:
- The path of Venus lies inside the path of the Earth.
- No other body ever comes so near the Earth, with the exception of the Moon and occasional comet or asteroid.
- When at its nearest to the earth it is only 26 million miles away.
- With such a wide range between its greatest and leat distances it is natural that at sometimes Venus appears much brighter than at others.
- When at its brightest, it is easily seen with the naked eye in broad daylight.
The first sentence establishes the fact that Venus is a planet that orbits the Sun inside the orbit of Earth. The second sentence provides additional information about Venus, stating that it is the closest planet to Earth. The third sentence provides more specific information about the distance between Venus and Earth, stating that Venus is only 26 million miles away when it is at its nearest point to Earth. The fourth sentence explains why Venus appears brighter at some times than at others, stating that this is due to the wide range between its greatest and least distances from Earth. The fifth sentence provides a final piece of information about Venus, stating that it is easily seen with the naked eye in broad daylight when it is at its brightest.
The other options are incorrect because they do not present the information in a logical or coherent order. For example, option A (SRPQ) presents the information in a random order, making it difficult to follow the main points. Option B (SQRP) presents the information in a slightly better order, but it still does not flow smoothly. Option D (QPRS) is the most incorrect option, as it presents the information in a completely illogical order.
