Question

Directions: In this question, different parts of a sentence/passage have been jumbled. Choose the option that represents the best sequence to make the sentence/passage coherent and meaningful. Ignore punctuation marks.
P: Telescope arrays in the Northern and Southern hemispheres
Q: In Leh for an international collaboration that is
R: India plans to offer an astronomical site at Hanle
S: Exploring the possibility of setting up two large gamma-ray

• A. PSQR
• B. SPRQ
• C. RQSP
• D. QPRS
• E. QSRP

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The given task is to rearrange the jumbled parts of a sentence to form a coherent and meaningful passage. Here’s the breakdown for each option and the determination of the correct sequence:

Let's analyze the parts:

• R: India plans to offer an astronomical site at Hanle
• Q: In Leh for an international collaboration that is
• S: Exploring the possibility of setting up two large gamma-ray
• P: Telescope arrays in the Northern and Southern hemispheres

Analysis of Options:

• PSQR: This sequence would start with a part of a sentence that doesn’t logically introduce the context.
• SPRQ: Starting with S, but it leaves out the subject, making it incoherent.
• RQSP: This sequence seems logical as it starts with India's plan, then expands by explaining the purpose and the scope (international collaboration) and finally, elaborates on the setup of telescope arrays.
• QPRS: Starts abruptly and does not provide a clear subject to make sense initially.
• QSRP: Again, it starts with an incomplete context, making it less fitting.

Correct Sequence: RQSP

Explanation: The sequence RQSP logically arranges the sentence. It begins with India's plans (R), follows with the purpose of the location (for an international collaboration) Q, then discusses what is being explored (S), and finally ends with the purpose of the exploration (setting up telescope arrays) P.

The resulting coherent sentence is:

India plans to offer an astronomical site at Hanle in Leh for an international collaboration that is exploring the possibility of setting up two large gamma-ray telescope arrays in the Northern and Southern hemispheres.
