The question below consists of a set of labelled sentences. These sentences, when properly sequenced form a coherent paragraph. Select the most logical order of sentences from among the options.
P: Most learners have a huge discrepancy between their verbal skills and their writing ability.
Q: As a result, many Learners do not write what is actually in their mind, but dumb-downed versions so they do not make mistakes.
R: But in school, correct spelling is valued more than getting one's true vocabulary on the page.
S: They have words in their minds that they could never spell.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. PSRQ.
1. S starts with 'they' and R with 'but', therefore they cannot be the first sentence. None of the options start with Q, so the first sentence must start with P.
2. RQ makes a logical pair as R mentions the general perception and Q mentions that action.
3. Out of the given options, only option 1 fulfils the above condition.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
