Ordering Jumbled Sentences RQPS

This question asks us to arrange four jumbled sentences (P, Q, R, S) into a specific sequence that logically fits between a given opening sentence (1) and a closing sentence (6). We need to find the correct order that creates a coherent paragraph.

Understanding the Jumbled Sentences

  • Sentence 1: This sentence introduces the location of the proposed site at Miyapur, stating it's "close to the main road."
  • Sentence 6: This sentence provides a concluding remark about the potential for office expansion because a vacant plot is available nearby.
  • P: This sentence focuses on the legal status of the land, mentioning that the "title deed of the land is clear and no litigation is envisaged." This is an important detail regarding security and ownership.
  • Q: This sentence discusses practical advantages related to site facilities. It states that "water and electricity may not be a problem" because there is a "shopping complex close to the site."
  • R: This sentence begins with "Firstly," suggesting it's the first point in a list of reasons or advantages. It highlights accessibility, stating the site is "easily accessible as it well connected to various parts of the city by three bus routes." This directly elaborates on the site's location.
  • S: This sentence starts with "Most important of all," indicating a highly significant benefit. It mentions that "the building adjacent to the site is also available on lease."

Step-by-Step Sentence Arrangement

Let's build the logical flow step-by-step:

  1. Establish the Context: Sentence 1 serves as the introduction: "The site proposed at Miyapur is located close to the main road." This sets the scene.
  2. Introduce First Advantage (R): Sentence R, starting with "Firstly," is the most logical continuation. It elaborates on the site's location advantage by detailing its accessibility via bus routes, reinforcing the idea of being "close to the main road." The sequence begins: 1 R.
  3. Discuss Amenities (Q): Sentence Q follows naturally by discussing practical aspects. The proximity of a shopping complex (mentioned in Q) relates to connectivity and potentially ensures access to amenities like water and electricity, which fits well after discussing general accessibility. Sequence becomes: 1 R Q.
  4. Address Legal Aspects (P): Sentence P focuses on the crucial aspect of the land's legal status – a clear title deed and no litigation. This is a vital point for any site proposal and fits well after discussing accessibility and amenities. Sequence: 1 R Q P.
  5. Highlight Key Benefit (S): Sentence S, introduced by "Most important of all," presents a significant advantage: the availability of the adjacent building on lease. This major benefit is best placed towards the end of the description of the site's positive attributes, just before the conclusion. Sequence: 1 R Q P S.
  6. Conclude with Expansion (6): Sentence 6, "There is scope for expansion of the office as a plot of land on the north of the proposed site is a vacant at present," serves as a perfect concluding statement, discussing future potential.

Determining the Correct Order

By analyzing the logical connections and transitions between the sentences, the sequence RQPS emerges as the correct order for the jumbled sentences P, Q, R, and S. This arrangement creates a smooth and informative paragraph describing the Miyapur site.
