Understanding Sentence Rearrangement: Rural Postal Life Insurance
This question requires us to arrange four sentences (P, Q, R, S) into a coherent paragraph, starting with sentence S1 and ending with sentence S6. The topic is the Rural Postal Life Insurance (RPLI) scheme.
Sentence Analysis for Logical Flow
Let's break down each sentence to understand its role:
- S1: Rural Postal Life Insurance was started in 1995. - This sentence introduces the scheme and its start date.
- S6: Therefore, various schemes of PLI and RPLI are very popular amongst eligible clients. - This sentence provides a concluding statement about the popularity of RPLI schemes.
- P: It also aims to spread insurance awareness among the rural population. - This sentence mentions a secondary objective ('also aims') of the scheme.
- Q: However, PLI and RPLI continue to offer life insurance cover at lower premium rate and higher bonus. - This sentence highlights a key feature (low premium, high bonus) using 'However', suggesting a contrast, possibly with the competitive market mentioned elsewhere.
- R: The prime objective of the scheme is to provide insurance cover to the rural public in general and to benefit weaker sections and women workers of rural areas in particular. - This sentence clearly states the primary objective or purpose of the RPLI scheme.
- S: With liberalisation of the insurance sector, Postal Life Insurance and Rural Postal Life Insurance are operating in a very competitive market. - This sentence sets the context by describing the current market situation, indicating competition.
Constructing the Coherent Paragraph Sequence
We need to find the sequence that logically connects S1 to S6. Let's see how the sentences fit together:
- S1: Starts the discussion by introducing RPLI and its commencement year (1995).
- R: Logically follows S1 by explaining the main purpose ('prime objective') behind starting the Rural Postal Life Insurance scheme, focusing on rural public, weaker sections, and women workers.
- P: Naturally follows R, as it mentions an additional aim ('also aims') related to spreading insurance awareness in rural areas, complementing the primary objective.
- S: Introduces the external factor of market liberalization and the resulting competitive environment for both PLI and RPLI. This provides context for the next sentence.
- Q: Uses 'However' to contrast the competitive situation described in S, stating that despite the competition, RPLI still provides attractive benefits like lower premiums and higher bonuses.
- S6: Concludes the paragraph by stating the result ('Therefore') of these attractive features (mentioned in Q) within the competitive market (mentioned in S), leading to the popularity of the schemes.
Identifying the Correct Sequence
Based on the logical connections:
- The sequence starts with S1.
- R details the primary objective, fitting after the introduction in S1.
- P adds a secondary objective, naturally following R.
- S describes the competitive market, setting the stage for Q.
- Q contrasts the market situation by highlighting the scheme's advantages.
- S6 concludes that these advantages contribute to the scheme's popularity.
Therefore, the most logical and coherent sequence is RPSQ.
