The correct answer is ‘SRQP’ . Key Points While arranging the parts of the passage, we should find some grammatical or contextual connections between them. Let us see how these parts of the sentence/paragraph can be arranged properly. Sentence S follows Sentence 1 as it establishes the subject matter by providing introductory information about Durga Puja. Hence, it'll be the first Sentence after 1 . Therefore, S follows 1 . Sentence R is the logical successor of Sentence S because it's providing further information about the Durga Puja by talking about 'Shakti' . Therefore, R follows S . Sentence Q is the logical successor of Sentence R as it is talking about the occurence of Durga Puja . Sentence Q and Sentence P are inter-related. Therefore, Q follows R . Sentence P is the logical successor of Sentence Q because it's providing a conclusion to the context by talking about the states in which Durga Puja is celebrated . Therefore, P follows Q . Thus, the correct order is SRQP: 1. Durga Puja is also known as Durgoutsav, is the biggest festival of Hindus celebrated for worshipping Goddess Durga. S. It is a festival of good wins over evil and it celebrates the victory of Goddess Durga over the buffalo evil Mahishasura. R.
