Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To solve the problem, we need to reorder the jumbled sentences P, Q, R, and S to form a coherent paragraph between the given sentences S1 and S6.

Initial Sentence (S1): In the middle of one side of the square sits the Chairman of the committee, the most important person in the room.
Final Sentence (S6): From the moment its members meet, it begins to have a sort nebulous life of its own.

Let's analyze the given sentences:

• P: For a committee is not just a mere collection of individuals.
• Q: On him rests much of the responsibility for the success or failure of the committee.
• R: While this is happening we have an opportunity to get the 'feel' of this committee.
• S: As the meeting opens, he runs briskly through a number of formalities.

Based on S1, the chairman's responsibility should follow, making Q the next logical sentence. It highlights the chairman's crucial role, directly linking to S1.

Sentence S complements Q by describing the actions of the chairman as the meeting starts, thus it fits well after Q.

Next, R serves as a transitional sentence showing actions as the meeting progresses, which follows naturally after S.

P gives a general statement about the nature of a committee and serves as an ideal lead into the final sentence, establishing the continuity from individual actions to the committee’s cohesive presence.

Therefore, the correct order is:

QSPR
