The correct answer is option 4 i.e. RQPS.

While arranging the parts of the sentence given in options, we have to find some grammatical or contextual connections between them, so let’s find out-

  • Sentence 1 describes how little is known about the origin of English literature and R follows it as it tells how poetry made its appearance.
  • Next is Q as it is in continuation with R and tells about poets.
  • P follows Q as it starts with 'this' and refers to the fact that little is known about them.
  • Last is S as it tells what the critics have finally relied on.


Sentences after rearrangement-

Little indeed is known of the origin of English literature. We can be certain that poetry made its appearance long before the first prose was written down. So far as poets are concerned, again, little or nothing is known beyond the names of two of them. This has not prevented some scholars from writing their "lives" from hints in the texts themselves. Critics have also relied on scanty contemporary references, and also a mass of conjecture that cannot be described as intelligent. Not withstanding the mists, old English literature has an amazing richness.

Eight north Indian Ocean countries, namely, Bangladesh, India, the Maldives, Myanmar, Oman, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Thailand, were asked to contribute names so that a combined list could be compiled. Each country gave eight names and a combined list of 64 names was prepared. This list is currently in use, and all cyclones arising in the north Indian Ocean are named from this list, with one name from each country being used in turn. Almost 38 or 39 names from the list have been used up, but since many cyclones dissipate long before they hit land, their names rarely figure in the papers or other media. The names that people do know about, and remember are, naturally, those that were most destructive ones, or very recent. Aila, in 2009 is remembered with a shudder for the enormous destruction it caused in West Bengal and Bangladesh; Phaillin, also for the damage it caused when it hit the Odisha coast in 2013. Two harmless cyclones, which also might remain in peoples memory, are the more recent ones of 2014 — Hudhud, which threatened the east coast of India and Nilofar, which was expected to, but did not, devastate the western coast. The names in the cyclone list are usually words one associates with storms; words which mean water or wind or lightning in various national languages. Sometimes they are names of other things — birds or flowers or precious stones. The name Aila, contributed by the Maldives means fire, the name Phaillin from Thailand means sapphire, the name Hudhud from Oman is the name of a bird, probably the hoopoe, and the name Nilofar, given by Pakistan, is the Urdu name of the lotus or water lily. The eight names suggested by India, and which are in the list of 64, are Agni, Akaash, Bijli, Jal, Leher, Megh, Sagar and Vayu, meaning in that order, fire, sky, lightning, water, wave, cloud, sea and wind. Five of these names (that is, up to Leher) have been used so far.
Which country did not contribute to the list of the cyclone names?

It’s a ‘Goldilock’s zone'. S. A ratio, developed by researchers at various universities was tested on computers via machine learning and applied to previous research looking into how animals learn.  6. If one is taking classes that are too easy and acing them all the time, then one probably isn’t getting as much out of a class as someone who’s struggling but managing to keep up.
