Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2, i.e. RQPS.
- Sentence R shall appear after the first line because it provides a continuation to the narrative. It adds another point of view to the context provided by the very first statement of the passage.
- Sentence Q shall follow as the next statement as it adds more details to the information provided by the previous statement, that is about people not caring about what's right anymore.
- Sentence P adds more specific details, that is regarding people's actions or thoughts. This can be treated as a continuation of the previous statement's point and hence shall follow at next place.
- Sentence S provides a conclusive point after the points/information added by the previous sentences, which is about humanity's path towards destruction. The conclusion is that there is inevitable dystopia and not utopia.
This arrangement follows a sequential manner where the various events/information/details have been added without losing the context/meaning of the passage and the fluency of narration is also maintained till the end.
