In the following question, the first and the last parts of the sentence/passage are numbered 1 and 6. The rest of the sentence/passage is split into four parts P, Q, R, and S. 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.
The Earth is facing a serious environmental crisis. P: Forests are being cut down. Q: Oceans are filling with plastic. R: The air is becoming toxic. S: Climate change is accelerating. 6. We must act before it's too late.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct sequence for the given passage is PQRS.
In this jumbled sentence question, the objective is to arrange the sentences P, Q, R, and S logically between the introductory sentence (1) and the concluding sentence (6).
Logical Sequence::
Introductory Sentence (1): "The Earth is facing a serious environmental crisis."
This sets a broad theme about the environment.
Sentences P, Q, and R: These three sentences list specific environmental problems—deforestation, ocean pollution, and air pollution. Since they are all parallel examples of the "crisis" mentioned in sentence 1, their relative order is flexible, but PQRS is the most direct flow.
Sentence S: "Climate change is accelerating."
This acts as a culminating point for the specific issues mentioned in P, Q, and R, summarizing the overall escalating state of the crisis.
Concluding Sentence (6): "We must act before it's too late."
This provides a call to action based on the problems listed previously.
