Directions: In this section, each item consists of six sentences of a passage. The first and the 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, Q, R and S. You are required to find the proper sequence of the four sentences and mark your response accordingly on the Answer Sheet. S1 : For the past five months, our screens have been flooded with distressing imagery of one catastrophe after another. S6 : One such issue is the effect of the pandemic on children, specifically, an increased risk of child labour. P : From locust attacks in the central and northwestern plains to the floods in Assam and Bihar. Q : From the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on vulnerable communities to cyclones in West Bengal, Odisha, and Maharashtra. R : All of these have had disastrous effects on the Indian economy—millions in the country lost their jobs or were forced to take pay cuts, and economic activity in rural India came to a halt. S : Amidst these ‘visible’ problems, there are other issues that have remained ‘invisible’. The correct sequence should be:

The correct answer is 'QPRS.' Key Points While arranging the parts of the passage given in options, we have to find some grammatical or contextual connections between them , so let’s find out. The first statement in the sequence should be the one that best connects with S1 . It should be a continuation or extension of S1 . Q follows S1 because it is adding information to the context "COVID-19 pandemic" , explained in S1 . P follows Q because it is adding more information to S by adding " locust attacks" . P must be followed by R as it is talking about "economic activity." S is directly connected to S6 as S is talking about visible and invisible problems. Therefore, the sequence is 'S1 QPRSS6.' Correct sequence : ​ S1 : For the past five months, our screens have been flooded with distressing imagery of one catastrophe after another. Q : From the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on vulnerable communities to cyclones in West Bengal, Odisha, and Maharashtra. P : From locust attacks in the central and northwestern plains to the floods in Assam and Bihar. R : All of these have had disastrous effects on the Indian economy—millions in the country lost their jobs or were forced to take pay cuts, and economic activity in rural India came to a halt. S : Amidst these ‘visible’ problems, there are other issues that have remained ‘invisible’. S6 : One such issue is the effect of the pandemic on children, specifically, an increased risk of child labour. Additional Information Steps for solving Para Jumbles: Clues include pronouns, like he, she, it, this, that, these, those; adverbs like formally, really; article a, an and the; definers like actually, finally, another; connectors like but, yet, both, also and neither nor, or, however, nevertheless. Now, with the help of clues, try to find out qualifier and qualified sentences, so that we can make pairs of qualified and qualifier sentences to eliminate the wrong choices given in the question. After making pairs, start eliminating the wrong choices or options given in the question. In case there is more than one choice, try to follow the sequence of sentences according to the occurrence of the events. Hinglish विकल्पों में दिए गए गद्यांश के भागों को व्यवस्थित करते समय, हमें उनके बीच कुछ व्याकरणिक या प्रासंगिक संबंध खोजने होंगे, तो आइए जानें। अनुक्रम में पहला कथन वह होना चाहिए जो S1 के साथ सर्वोत्तम रूप से जुड़ता हो। यह S1 की निरंतरता या विस्तार होना चाहिए। Q, S1 का अनुसरण करता है क्योंकि यह संदर्भ "COVID-19 pandemic" में जानकारी जोड़ रहा है, जिसे S1 में समझाया गया है। P, Q का अनुसरण करता है क्योंकि Q में पूछे गए उत्तर को जोड़कर यह " locust attacks" के लिए अधिक जानकारी देता है। P के बाद R आना चाहिए क्योंकि यह "economic activity" के बारे में बात कर रहा है। S सीधे S6 से जुड़ा है क्योंकि S visible and invisible problems के बारे में बात कर रहा है। इसलिए, अनुक्रम 'S1QPRSS6' है।
