Directions : In this section each item consists of six sentences that comprise a passage. The first and sixth sentences are given in the beginning as S1 and S6. The sequence of the four sentences in the middle, labelled as P, Q, R, and S, has been jumbled. You are required to find the proper sequence of the four jumbled sentences and mark your response on the Answer Sheet accordingly.

S1: The Japanese empire was considered rich.
S6: Soon, other developments such as the increased use of money and the creation of a stock market in rice show that the economy was developing in new ways.
P: However, paying for these imports with gold and silver strained the economy and led the Tokugawa to put restrictions on the export of precious metals.
Q: Over time, the silk from Nishijin came to be known as the best in the world.
R: They also took steps to develop the silk industry in Nishijin in Kyoto so as to reduce imports.
S: This was because it imported luxury goods like silk from China and textiles from India.

The correct answer is

SQRP 

To determine the correct sequence of the given jumbled sentences, it's important to understand the context and logical flow of the information related to the Japanese empire's economy. Let's analyze each sentence and arrange them in a coherent sequence:

  1. S1: The Japanese empire was considered rich.
  2. S: This was because it imported luxury goods like silk from China and textiles from India.
  3. Q: Over time, the silk from Nishijin came to be known as the best in the world.
  4. P: However, paying for these imports with gold and silver strained the economy and led the Tokugawa to put restrictions on the export of precious metals.
  5. R: They also took steps to develop the silk industry in Nishijin in Kyoto so as to reduce imports.
  6. S6: Soon, other developments such as the increased use of money and the creation of a stock market in rice show that the economy was developing in new ways.

Logical Sequence Explanation:

  • The passage begins with S1, which sets the premise that the Japanese empire was considered rich.
  • Sentence S logically follows S1, explaining the reason for the richness: luxury imports from China and India.
  • After establishing the initial condition, Q follows, illustrating the changing perception of Japanese silk from Nishijin, signaling the improvement in local industries.
  • P logically follows Q because it deals with the consequences of these imports, specifically the economic strain due to trade imbalances and imposed restrictions on exports.
  • R then elaborates on the proactive steps taken by the Japanese to bolster local industry (particularly silk) to mitigate these economic challenges.
  • Finally, S6 concludes with broader developments in the economy, showing progress beyond just the silk industry.

The correct sequence is therefore SQRP, aligning with the given correct answer option C (SQRP).
