Q43 / 270 · NDA 2018 (Phase 2) · General Ability
Find out the correct sequence of sentences which are labelled as P, Q, R and S.
Newton discovered that
P. due to the gravitational pull
Q. of the earth
R. the apple falls
S. on the ground
The correct sequence should be
- AQPRS
- Correct answerBRSPQ
- CQSPR
- DSQRP
Solution
RSPQ. The "gravitational pull" is exerted by the earth. So, it is logical to place part $(\mathrm{Q})$ after $(\mathrm{P})$. Part-sequence PQ is mentioned only in option (2). The complete sentence is read by using option (2). The sentence is meaningful. The adverb phrase of place "on the ground" is positioned after the verb "falls". It is followed by part $(\mathrm{P})$ which mentions the reason.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
