[amp_mcq option1=”PSQR” option2=”QSPR” option3=”RQSP” option4=”SQPR” correct=”option1″]

The correct answer is: A. PSQR

The first sentence, S1, introduces the topic of the passage, which is the challenges of working with retarded children. The second sentence, P, provides an example of a woman who worked with a retarded child. The third sentence, Q, provides more information about the girl that the woman worked with, such as the fact that she was bed-ridden and had never responded to or recognized anyone. The fourth sentence, R, provides more information about the woman’s work with the girl, such as the fact that she spent two hours a day, five days a week, working with her. The fifth sentence, S, provides the climax of the story, which is the moment when the girl finally made her first cut in a piece of paper. The sixth sentence, S6, provides the resolution of the story, which is the moment when the girl finally began to smile.

The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the logical order of events in the story. Option B, QSPR, puts the sentence about the girl’s first cut before the sentence about the woman’s work with her. Option C, RQSP, puts the sentence about the woman’s work with the girl before the sentence about the girl’s first cut. Option D, SQPR, puts the sentence about the girl’s first cut after the sentence about the girl’s smile.
