    P. Keeping the street clean is not alone the duty of the panchayat or municipality but, it is the responsibility of all citizens not to throw garbage into the street.

    Q. Lack of civic sense contributes in great measure to the garbage problem of the State.

    R. They are not removed properly in time, causing environmental pollution.

    S. People throw plastic kits and garbage into drains and they get clogged.

    Solutions
    • We will use the mandatory pair approach for this question.

    • Sentence R has the pronoun "they" at the beginning of the sentence which is used for the "plastic kits and garbage" mentioned in sentence S. Hence, S will be followed by R.

    • Q is perfect to be the introductory sentence of the passage. 

    • P concludes the passage well by telling us that it is the duty of every citizen to keep his or her environment clean.

      Thus, the correct sequence is QSRP.
    After rearranging the sentences, the passage will be: Lack of civic sense contributes in great measure to the garbage problem of the State. People throw plastic kits and garbage into drains and they get clogged. They are not removed properly in time, causing environmental pollution. Keeping the street clean is not alone the duty of the panchayat or municipality but, it is the responsibility of all citizens not to throw garbage into the street.

    Hence, option D is the correct answer.

    P. According to hair loss experts, excess DHT drastically increases collagen production in the hair follicle.

    Q. Hair loss can be traced to an increase of internal Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and collagen production.

    R. Eventually, collagen blocks the pore completely causing a lack of necessary blood flow due to which your hair loses its sheen, thins down, and finally, you lose your hair completely.

    S. When too much collagen lines the interior of the follicle, it narrows the pores, decreases blood flow, and slowly strangles your hair to death.

    Solutions
    • Using the elimination method, we can easily get to the first sentence of the paragraph.
    • The first sentence should give us an idea of what the paragraph is all about.
    • Out of sentences Q and S, only sentence Q gives us an idea of the subject of the paragraph which is Hair loss.
    • Thus, we can eliminate options P and Q.
    • Now, let's find out the second sentence which will be in concordance with the first sentence.
    • The first line is substantiated by research experts that found a link between the DHT and collagen production which means only statement P is taking the argument further.
    • Thus, the correct sequence after rearrangement is QPSR.

    After arranging the sentences, the passage will be :- "Hair loss can be traced to an increase of internal Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and collagen production. According to hair loss experts, excess DHT drastically increases collagen production in the hair follicle. When too much collagen lines the interior of the follicle, it narrows the pores, decreases blood flow, and slowly strangles your hair to death. Eventually, collagen blocks the pore completely causing a lack of necessary blood flow due to which your hair loses its sheen, thins down, and finally you lose your hair completely."

    Hence, option D is the correct answer.

    After rearranging the sentences, the passage will be: Upon their return from an off-site camp Ravi and Sunil decided to hold a meeting. As soon as everyone assembled, the meeting which lasted for four hours, began. Its purpose was to replace some of the old ways of marketing used by the company with new ones.     New ideas on marketing were brainstormed and all the members agreed to try them forthwith.

    • How this disease gets its name is further discussed in Q.

    • Sentence S discusses the view of researchers on the Ebola Virus Disease and concludes the paragraph.

    S. There is no doubt that parenting is among the most difficult and demanding tasks in the world.

    Solutions
    • Sentence P cannot be the first sentence since it starts with the pronoun ‘it.’
    • Out of sentences S and Q, only S can be the introductory sentence which gives us the subject of the passage - ‘Parenting.’
    • P will be the next in the sequence after S as the pronoun "it" is used for "parenting".

    • Q and R will be the next in the sequence as they both talk about inculcating good values in a child.
    • Thus, the correct sequence after rearrangement is SPQR.

    After rearranging the sentences, the passage will be: There is no doubt that parenting is among the most difficult and demanding tasks in the world. It requires continuous learning and sacrifices. To raise well-behaved and responsible children one should be willing to invest a considerable amount of time, patience, and energy. Instilling and inculcating good values in a child will go a long way in making him/her a good person and a better citizen.

    Q. Poaching is the illegal taking of wildlife, in violation of local, state, federal, or international law.

    R. One of the most dangerous and lasting effects of poaching is the decimation of native animal populations.

    S. When a certain animal, such as the African elephant, is targeted by poachers, it can take decades for the animal's population to recover.

    Solutions
    • The first sentence should be Q since it introduces the theme of the passage i.e. ‘poaching’.

    • The second sentence should be P as it further tells what all activities are considered as poaching.

    • The sentences R and S form a mandatory pair since they tell about the effects of poaching, i.e. decimation of the native animal population. 

      Thus, the correct sequence is: QPRS
    After rearranging the sentences, the passage will be: Poaching is the illegal taking of wildlife, in violation of local, state, federal, or international law. Activities that are considered poaching include killing an animal out of season, without a license, with a prohibited weapon, or in a prohibited manner such as jack-lighting. One of the most dangerous and lasting effects of poaching is the decimation of native animal populations.

    P. It was called the take ownership’ programme, and it worked.

    Q. The programme was a huge success in reviving the corporate culture of the bank and in reviving the bank’s stock price.

    R. My colleagues and I felt and behaved like owners because we actually were.

    S. I once worked for a large bank that gave stock options to all of its employees.

    Solutions
    • Let us go by the options and follow the elimination approach and get to the answer.
    • For instance, the sentence given in P starts with the pronoun ‘it’ whose information is not known to us. It doesn’t tell us about the subject. Thus, it cannot be the first sentence.
    • The sentence given in Q talks about a programme whose information is not known. It must have been introduced in the preceding sentences and therefore it cannot be the first sentence in order.
    • Now, we are left with two choices for the first sentence, sentences given in R and S.
    • Out of the two options, the only sentence given in S qualifies for the first sentence in sequence.
    • Thus we can eliminate options B, C and D.
    • Thus, the correct sequence after rearrangement is SPRQ.


    After arranging the sentences, the passage will be :- 'I once worked for a large bank that gave stock options to all of its employees. It was called the take ownership’ programme, and it worked. My colleagues and I felt and behaved like owners because we actually were. The programme was a huge success in reviving the corporate culture of the bank and in reviving the bank’s stock price.'

    Hence, option A is the correct answer.
