Directions: In this section, each item consists of six sentences of a passage. The first and sixth sentences are given in the beginning as S1 and S6.The middle four sentences in each have been jumbled up and labelled as P, accordingly Q, R, and on S. the You Answer are required t
S6: Only a small part of insolation is absorbed and converted into thermal energy.
P: Its rays are transmitted in various wavelengths of the solar spectrum, mainly in the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared bands.
Q: When components of the solar spectrum reach the earth, the insolation is partially absorbed and converted to thermal energy.
R: The amount of energy the earth receives from other celestial bodies is negligible by comparison.
S: Radiant energy from the sun that strikes the earth is called insolation.
Sentence Ordering: Sun's Energy Transfer Explained
This question tests your ability to arrange sentences into a coherent paragraph. You are given the first sentence (S1) and the last sentence (S6) of a passage, and you need to correctly order the jumbled sentences (P, Q, R, S) that fall in between.
Understanding the Logical Sequence
Let's break down the logic for ordering the sentences P, Q, R, and S between S1 and S6:
- S1: "The sun is the primary transmitter of energy for the processes of change on the Earth's surface and in the atmosphere." This sentence introduces the main topic: the sun's role as an energy source for Earth.
- R: "The amount of energy the earth receives from other celestial bodies is negligible by comparison." This sentence logically follows S1 by contrasting the sun's energy contribution with that of other celestial bodies, reinforcing the sun's primary role.
- S: "Radiant energy from the sun that strikes the earth is called insolation." After establishing the sun's importance (S1) and dominance (R), this sentence introduces and defines a key term, "insolation," which is the specific type of energy being discussed.
- P: "Its rays are transmitted in various wavelengths of the solar spectrum, mainly in the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared bands." This sentence elaborates on the nature of the "radiant energy" or "insolation" mentioned previously, describing its transmission properties and spectrum. The pronoun "Its" clearly refers back to the sun's energy/rays.
- Q: "When components of the solar spectrum reach the earth, the insolation is partially absorbed and converted to thermal energy." This sentence explains the effect or process that occurs when the described solar rays (insolation) reach Earth, specifically mentioning absorption and conversion to thermal energy.
- S6: "Only a small part of insolation is absorbed and converted into thermal energy." This sentence serves as a concluding statement, adding a quantitative detail ("Only a small part") to the absorption process described in Q. It logically wraps up the discussion on energy transfer and absorption.
Therefore, the correct order for the jumbled sentences is R, S, P, Q.
Final Coherent Passage
Putting it all together, the ordered passage reads:
S1: The sun is the primary transmitter of energy for the processes of change on the Earth's surface and in the atmosphere. R: The amount of energy the earth receives from other celestial bodies is negligible by comparison. S: Radiant energy from the sun that strikes the earth is called insolation. P: Its rays are transmitted in various wavelengths of the solar spectrum, mainly in the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared bands. Q: When components of the solar spectrum reach the earth, the insolation is partially absorbed and converted to thermal energy. S6: Only a small part of insolation is absorbed and converted into thermal energy.
This sequence creates a logical flow, starting with the sun's general role, defining insolation, describing its properties, explaining its effects, and concluding with a detail about the absorption process.
Important Questions from Parajumbles
Three statements are followed by conclusions numbered I, II. You have to consider these statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts. Decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statement.
Statements:
- All water is earth.
- All earth is fire.
- Some fire is air.
Conclusions:
- (I) Some air is earth.
- (II) Some fire is water.
In this question, three statements are given, followed by three conclusions numbered I, II, and III. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusion(s) logically follows/follow from the statements.
Statements:
No rose is an orchid.
All roses are lilies.
All lilies are lotuses.
Conclusions:
I. Some lilies are orchids.
II. Some lotuses are orchids.
III. All lilies are orchids.
