    P- To those who have known comfort, discomfort is a real torture.
    Q- Comfort is now one of the causes of its own spread.
    R- The more comfort is brought into the world, the more it is likely to be valued.
    S- It has now become a physical habit, a fashion, an ideal to be pursued for its own sake.
    Solutions
    Any topic should start with an introduction. After reading the given sentences, we gather that the topic discussed here is ‘Comfort’, and the most appropriate introductory sentence is Q. P is the reverse of the topic that we have on our hands. Hence, P would be the last sentence in the sequence. R & S need introduction of their own. So, R & S cannot be the starting statements. R uses the noun (comfort) as the subject, whereas S uses the pronoun (it) as the subject. Thus sequentially, R must come before S. Moreover, R is a supporting statement for Q.  
    Hence, the correct sequence will be QRSP.

    P- In that frame of mind, we have little sense of identity, safety or security.
    Q- Courage is required to explore our secret life because we must first withdraw from the social mirror, where we are fed positive and negative feedback continuously.
    S- As we get used to this social feedback, it becomes a comfort zone.
    R- And we may opt to avoid self-examination and idle away our time in a vacuum of reverie and rationalization.
    Solutions
    While rearranging sentences, we must start with an introduction. The only sentence which contains a noun as a subject is Q. Thus, the first statement will be Q. Q ends with ‘receiving feedback’ as the topic. S starts with ‘receiving feedback’. These two must be in sequence, and thus the next statement in the sequence will be S. R starts with the conjunction ‘and’, and it depicts the effects of S. So, it will be the next statement in the sequence. This leaves us with P, which will be the last in the sequence.

    Hence, the correct sequence will be QSRP.

    P. Did you know, we’ve been together for nearly forty years?
    Q. Wish I could remember his name.
    R. After being stuck in this place for ages but now he’s taking me home.
    S. At least that’s what he told me.
    Solutions
    We can decipher a connection between statement P and S. The statement P should be followed by statement S. Only option C has the sequence in which P and S are placed together in order PS. Therefore, option C is the apt answer

    P: These complications manifest themselves in exchange of fire on the border.
    Q: Relations between India and Pakistan have often come to being described as complicated.
    R: That is precisely why there was a need to look at it from a new perspective.
    S: The Indo-Pak border has been seen as one of the most volatile regions.
    Solutions
    Both Q and S can serve as an introduction. But none of the options has S at the start. So, Q is the introductory sentence. P follows Q as it has the term ‘these complications’ which are previously mentioned in sentence Q. The only option with QP in sequence is C; hence, it is the correct answer.

    P: He wanted to do something to deliver the humanity from all such misery. He reflected on this problem for long.
    Q: Siddhartha was greatly touched as he saw an old man, a sick man and a dead body.
    R: At last on hearing some words from the mouth of a hermit which encouraged him to renounce the world, he decided to leave the palace and go into the forest for meditation.
    S: Before going, he had a lasting glance on his beloved wife Yashodhra and son, Rahul, who were enjoying a sound sleep at midnight.
    Solutions
    P uses 'he' which means that the person needs to be introduced prior to it.
    Q introduces the subject; hence it should be the first sentence.
    R states what happened as a consequence. 
    S should follow. Though it talks about something which happened before he left but the fact that it happened before is implicitly stated in the sentence.
    hence, the correct sequence is QPRS

    P. Thinking about it pollutes and undermines the attitudes needed for success. 
    Q. Some say that failure is like toxic waste.
    R. It can be used to enrich the soil of your mind. 
    S. I see failure more as a fertilizer.
    Solutions
    Sentence Q tells us what most people think about failure and that they consider it as toxic waste. The pronoun 'it' used in the sentence P has been used for failure, hence statement P will follow the statement Q. Sentence S tells us about the author's view on failure and is a contradictory one to statement Q, so S will follow P because QP is a mandatory pair. Sentence R further explains the views of the author on failure. Hence, option D is the correct answer.

    P. In November of that year, a portion of the battlefield was dedicated as a final resting place for men of both armies who died there. 
    Q. The chief speech on that occasion was given by Edward Everett, a celebrated orator. 
    R. One of the most terrible battles of the American Civil War was fought in July 1863, at Gettysburg. 
    S. Lincoln was asked to make a few remarks.
    Solutions
    Sentence R will be the opening statement as it introduces the subject of the sequence i.e. American Civil War of 1863. Sentence P tells us that in November of 1863 an event happened, as sentence R is the only sentence which has a mention of 1863, so sentence P will follow sentence R. Sentence Q is in continuation of sentence R as it tells us that on the occasion that happened in November 1863 a speech was given. RPQ is a sequence only in option B. Hence, option B with sequence RPQS is the correct answer.

    P- They cut off the telephone lines and deactivated the burglar alarm. 
    Q- The assistant manager was forced to unlock the vault. 
    R- One group kept an eye on the customers. 
    S- Six robbers entered a Nationalised bank today at 9.50 a.m.
    Solutions

    Statement S describes the scene when the robbers entered a bank, so it should be the first sentence. Sentence P tells us about the course of events that followed after the robbers entered the bank, so sentence P will follow sentence S. Sentence R would further follow sentence P as it further explains the course of events. Sentence Q will come at the next position as the manager was forced to open the vault. Hence, option A is the correct answer.

    P. These enthusiasts argue that Mars could be a perennial source of materials for us earthlings. 
    Q. They are also unrealistic about the cost of transportation that will be involved in interplanetary movement of men and materials. 
    R. But there is no firm evidence of any valuable mineral that can be extracted from Mars and transported to Earth. 
    S. Advocates of space programme argue for spending huge amounts of money on exploring Mars.
    Solutions

    Sentence S telling us that some people are of the view that more money should be spent on exploring mars will be the opening statement of the sequence as it introduces the subject. Sentence P starts with the pronoun 'these' which has been used for the enthusiasts in the sentence S, making SP a mandator pair. Further sentence R argues although some people are saying that more money should be spent on exploring mars but there isn't any evidence that valuable minerals can be extracted from mars and brought on earth, hence statement R will follow sentence P. Sentence Q continues the argument of sentence R, so statement Q will follow sentence R. Hence, option A is the correct answer.

    P. About 5,500 of over 76,000 children have been tested in nine Indian cities for checking the growth of tuberculosis.
    Q. This shows the acuteness of the disease.
    R. 9% of them have the multi-drug resistant TB (MDR-TB).
    S. Sadly they have been diagnosed with tuberculosis.
    Solutions

    The use of pronoun "they" in sentence S refers to the children mentioned in sentence P. This makes sentences P and S a mandatory pair. The use of phrase "9% of them" is used for the children diagnosed with tuberculosis mentioned in sentence S. Therefore, sentence R will follow sentence S. The only option with the sequence PSR is option A. Hence, it is the answer.
