[amp_mcq option1=”PRSQ” option2=”QSPR” option3=”RSQP” option4=”SPQR” correct=”option1″]
The correct answer is: A. PRSQ
The correct sequence of the sentences is:
- Widowhood in India used to be specially miserable.
- There were widows even in ages ranging from five to ten.
- A widow was a widow always.
- However, several communities began to rebel against the ill-treatment of widows.
- Today nobody looks upon remarriage of widows with disgust or disapproval.
The first sentence introduces the topic of widowhood in India. The second sentence provides evidence of how miserable widowhood was in India, by stating that there were widows even in ages ranging from five to ten. The third sentence further supports this evidence by stating that a widow was a widow always, meaning that she could not marry again, no matter how young she was. The fourth sentence provides a contrast to the previous three sentences by stating that several communities began to rebel against the ill-treatment of widows. The fifth sentence concludes the passage by stating that today, nobody looks upon remarriage of widows with disgust or disapproval.
The other options are incorrect because they do not present the information in a logical order. For example, option B, QSPR, presents the information in a chronological order, but it does not make sense to start with the fourth sentence and then go back to the first sentence. Option C, RSQP, also presents the information in a chronological order, but it does not make sense to start with the third sentence and then go back to the first sentence. Option D, SPQR, does not present the information in a logical order at all.
