S1: We don’t see many banyan trees in our cities now-a-days. P: But in our overcrowded cities, where there is barely enough living space for people, banyan trees don’t have much of a chance. Q: These trees like to have plenty of space in which to spread themselves out. R: Of course, many parks have banyan trees. S: After all, a full grown banyan takes up as large an area as a three-storey apartment building. S6: And every village has at least one. The Proper sequence should be: A. PQRS B. QPSR C. RSQP D. SRPQ

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

The correct answer is D. SRPQ.

The first sentence (S1) introduces the topic of the paragraph, which is why banyan trees are not as common in cities as they once were. The second sentence (P) provides a reason for this: banyan trees need a lot of space to grow, and there is not enough space for them in crowded cities. The third sentence (Q) provides more information about how much space banyan trees need. The fourth sentence (R) provides an exception to the rule: banyan trees are still found in parks, which have more space than most other parts of cities. The fifth sentence (S) provides another exception to the rule: banyan trees are also found in villages, which are typically smaller and less crowded than cities. The sixth sentence (S6) is a conclusion that summarizes the main point of the paragraph: banyan trees are not as common in cities as they once were, but they can still be found in parks and villages.

The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the logical order of the sentences. Option A, PQRS, puts the reason (P) before the topic (S1). Option B, QPSR, puts the exception (R) before the rule (P). Option C, RSQP, puts the conclusion (S6) before the main point (S1).
