Detailed Explanation for Sentence Rearrangement: Digital Locker Initiative

This question requires arranging jumbled sentences (P, Q, R, S) between a fixed starting sentence (S1) and an ending sentence (S6) to form a coherent and logical paragraph about the Digital Locker initiative.

Sentence Analysis

  • S1: Introduces Digital Locker as a major part of Digital India, aiming for a digitally empowered society.
  • S6: Mentions the possibility of electronically signing legacy documents using e-Sign. This likely concludes the discussion about documents.
  • P: Defines Digital Locker's goal: paperless governance and digital document issuance/verification. This sentence expands on the concept introduced in S1.
  • Q: Explains that registered organizations can directly add electronic documents to citizens' lockers. This describes one way documents enter the system.
  • R: States that citizens can upload scanned versions of their older (legacy) documents. This describes another way documents are added, specifically by the user.
  • S: Highlights that Indian residents signing up receive cloud storage space. This points to the user benefit and storage aspect of the Digital Locker.

Determining the Logical Order

The goal is to create a flow that starts with the introduction (S1), explains the service (P), discusses user benefits and document management (S, Q, R), and ends with a related action (S6).

  1. S1 sets the context: Digital Locker's role in Digital India.
  2. P follows logically by explaining the core purpose of Digital Locker: paperless governance and digital documents.
  3. S naturally follows P by explaining a key feature for users: getting cloud storage upon signing up for a DigiLocker account.
  4. Q then describes how organizations can populate these lockers with electronic documents, connecting to the cloud storage mentioned in S.
  5. R complements Q by explaining the user's ability to add their own 'legacy documents' to their account, which links well with the storage concept.
  6. S6 provides a concluding statement about these 'legacy documents' mentioned in R, specifying they can be electronically signed.

Therefore, the logical sequence for the jumbled sentences is P, S, Q, R.

Final Sequence and Options

Combining the fixed sentences S1 and S6 with the derived sequence P, S, Q, R gives the complete paragraph order: S1 - P - S - Q - R - S6.

Matching this sequence to the given options:

  • Option 1: PSQR - This matches the derived sequence for P, Q, R, S.
  • Option 2: QSRP
  • Option 3: RSPQ
  • Option 4: SPRQ

The sequence PSQR correctly arranges the sentences P, S, Q, and R to create a meaningful paragraph following S1 and preceding S6.

Conclusion

The most appropriate sequence that logically connects S1 and S6 is PSQR, explaining the Digital Locker initiative from its purpose to its functionality and user interaction.

The correct option is 1.
