These four parts are not given in their proper order. Read the sentence/passage and find the most logical order of the parts between 1 and 6.

Human memory is a complex neurological process.

P: Short-term memory stores data temporarily for immediate use.

Q: Information can be transferred to long-term memory with repetition.

R: The brain filters and encodes information efficiently.

S: Long-term memory holds information for an extended period.

6. Understanding memory helps improve learning strategies.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The logical order for the sentences provided in the passage is RPSQ.

Logical Sequence:

Introduction (1): "Human memory is a complex neurological process." This introduces the broad subject.

Part R: "The brain filters and encodes information efficiently." This naturally follows the introduction by explaining the initial stage of the memory process (encoding).

Part P: "Short-term memory stores data temporarily for immediate use." After encoding, the next logical step in the memory hierarchy is short-term storage.

Part S: "Long-term memory holds information for an extended period." This contrasts short-term memory with long-term storage.

Part Q: "Information can be transferred to long-term memory with repetition." This provides the mechanism for how information moves between the stages mentioned in P and S.

Conclusion (6): "Understanding memory helps improve learning strategies." This summarizes the significance of the processes described.
