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 : The Tungabhadra has served as a historic natural frontier right through the centuries.
P: The river is perennial in character and comes down in frequent heavy rushes during the rains.
Q : The rain-bearing river was dammed by the rulers of Vijayanagara near Hampi for watering the palaces and gardens of that great city.
R : The united stream strikes in a north-easterly direction through Mysore and skirts the adjacent districts.
S: The bed of both the headstreams of the Tungabhadra is rocky.
Decoding the Tungabhadra River Sentence Arrangement Puzzle
This question challenges us to arrange four jumbled sentences (P, Q, R, S) into a logical sequence, given the starting sentence (S1) and the ending sentence (S6). The goal is to create a well-structured and meaningful paragraph about the Tungabhadra River.
Identifying the Fixed Points
We are given:
S1: The Tungabhadra is the chief tributary of the Krishna formed by the union, near Kudali, of the two streams Tunga and Bhadra.
S6: The Tungabhadra has served as a historic natural frontier right through the centuries.
S1 sets the stage by explaining the origin of the Tungabhadra. S6 provides a concluding perspective on its historical role.
Analyzing the Jumbled Sentences
Let's examine what each jumbled sentence talks about:
- P: Focuses on the river being 'perennial' and its flow characteristics during 'rains'.
- Q: Describes a specific historical action – the Vijayanagara rulers damming the river near Hampi for 'watering palaces and gardens'. This relates to the river's utility.
- R: Details the direction ('north-easterly direction through Mysore') of the 'united stream'. This sentence clearly describes the path the river takes after its formation.
- S: Mentions the physical characteristic of the 'bed' of the 'headstreams' (Tunga and Bhadra) being 'rocky'. This describes the source terrain.
Constructing the Logical Flow (RSPQ Sequence)
To find the correct order, we look for connections between the sentences:
- S1 introduces the formation of the Tungabhadra from the Tunga and Bhadra.
- R naturally follows S1 by describing the path of the newly formed 'united stream' flowing 'north-east through Mysore'.
- S adds details about the origin environment, mentioning the 'rocky bed' of the 'headstreams'. Although R talks about the united stream, S provides context about the source terrain which influences the river.
- P then describes the general nature of the river, stating it's 'perennial' and has heavy 'rushes during the rains'. This characteristic can be linked to its source and terrain described earlier.
- Q provides a specific historical example of how the river's flow was utilized ('dammed... for watering'), logically following the description of its perennial nature and flow.
- S6 concludes the passage by highlighting the river's long-standing role as a 'historic natural frontier'.
This step-by-step reasoning leads to the sequence R, S, P, Q, fitting perfectly between S1 and S6.
The Final Coherent Passage
Putting it all together, the correctly ordered passage is:
S1: The Tungabhadra is the chief tributary of the Krishna formed by the union, near Kudali, of the two streams Tunga and Bhadra. R: The united stream strikes in a north-easterly direction through Mysore and skirts the adjacent districts. S: The bed of both the headstreams of the Tungabhadra is rocky. P: The river is perennial in character and comes down in frequent heavy rushes during the rains. Q: The rain-bearing river was dammed by the rulers of Vijayanagara near Hampi for watering the palaces and gardens of that great city. S6: The Tungabhadra has served as a historic natural frontier right through the centuries.
This arrangement creates a smooth narrative flow, starting from the river's formation, describing its course and characteristics, mentioning its historical use, and ending with its enduring significance.
