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.
A triangle has three sides.
P: The angles can be equal or different.
Q: It is one of the basic shapes.
R: Every triangle has three angles.
S: The sum of angles is always 180 degrees
6. Triangles are important in geometry.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The most logical order for the sentences between 1 and 6 is QRPS.
Logical sequence:
1 (Opening): "A triangle has three sides." (Introduces the subject).
Q: "It is one of the basic shapes." (Connects the specific object to a general category).
R: "Every triangle has three angles." (Introduces the concept of angles after sides).
P: "The angles can be equal or different." (Provides specific detail about the angles mentioned in R).
S: "The sum of angles is always 180 degrees." (Concluding fact about the properties of the angles).
6 (Closing): "Triangles are important in geometry." (Summary statement).
The flow moves logically from a general definition of the shape to specific properties of its angles, concluding with its mathematical significance.
