SSC CGL Tier II English - 18/02/2018 • English • Q79

Rearrange the parts of the sentence in correct order.

P: But our behavior, ‘good’ or ‘bad’, certainly shapes our persona and determines our personality.

Q: If one is helpful, polite and considerate in one’s actions towards fellow-beings, one is known as a kind person.

R: The converse is equally true and a mean, rude and selfish person is regarded as bad.

S: Growing urbanisation and lack of roots in any given place have made us increasingly indifferent to the feelings of others and led us to adopt an apathetic attitude to most things.

 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. SPQR.

  • According to the options, the paragraph can either start with P or S.
  • Since P start with 'but', it cannot be the first sentence as 'but' shows contradiction to the previous sentence.
  • SP makes a logical pair as both S and P discuss the same topic.
  • Option 3 fulfils the above condition and makes a coherent paragraph.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
