S1: There are examinations at school which a pupil can pass by cramming the texts. P: But for spiritual knowledge mere memory of holy texts will be of no use in passing the texts. Q: One can score in them by the power of memory. R: A competent guru alone can provide the necessary guidance to an earnest disciple. S: What the text says has to be reflected upon and experienced by the speaker. S6: Thus, reading, reflection and experience are the three stages in gaining spiritual knowledge. The Proper sequence should be: A. QPSR B. RSPQ C. RSQP D. SRPQ

[amp_mcq option1=”QPSR” option2=”RSPQ” option3=”RSQP” option4=”SRPQ” correct=”option4″]

The correct answer is: D. SRPQ

The first sentence, S1, introduces the topic of the passage, which is the three stages in gaining spiritual knowledge. The second sentence, P, states that mere memory of holy texts is not enough to gain spiritual knowledge. The third sentence, R, states that a competent guru can provide the necessary guidance to an earnest disciple. The fourth sentence, S, states that what the text says has to be reflected upon and experienced by the speaker. The fifth sentence, S6, summarizes the main points of the passage by stating that reading, reflection, and experience are the three stages in gaining spiritual knowledge.

The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the logical order of the sentences in the passage. Option A, QPSR, puts the second sentence first, which does not make sense because the second sentence is a supporting detail for the first sentence. Option B, RSPQ, puts the third sentence first, which does not make sense because the third sentence is a supporting detail for the second sentence. Option C, RSQP, puts the fourth sentence first, which does not make sense because the fourth sentence is a supporting detail for the third sentence.
