In the given question, the first and the last parts of the passage are numbered S1 and S6. The rest of the passage is split into four parts named P, Q, R and S, which are not given in their proper order. Read the sentences and find the correct order of P, Q, R and S.
S1: Man cannot survive except through his mind. He comes on Earth unarmed
S6: To plant he needs a process of thoughts, to hunt he needs weapons and to make weapons the process of thoughts
P: Man has no claws, no fangs, no horns and no great strength of muscle
Q: Animals obtain food by force
R: He must plant his food or hunt it
S: His brain is his only weapon
The proper sequence should be
S6: To plant he needs a process of thoughts, to hunt he needs weapons and to make weapons the process of thoughts
P: Man has no claws, no fangs, no horns and no great strength of muscle
Q: Animals obtain food by force
R: He must plant his food or hunt it
S: His brain is his only weapon
The proper sequence should be
- RSQP
- RPSQ
- SQPR
- QSRP
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - SQPR
Man comes unarmed (S1); his brain is his only weapon (S); animals obtain food by force (Q), but man has no claws, fangs or horns (P), so he must plant his food or hunt it (R); S6 then explains what planting and hunting need. Order SQPR. Every other sequence breaks the R-S6 link ('He must plant ... To plant he needs ...').
