India brought home a total of 69 medals – 15 gold, 24 silver and 30 bronze from the Asian Games 2018 in Indonesia. Correct Answer SRPQ

Among all the sentences, S can be used as the first sentence as it provides a suitable introduction to the paragraph. This can be followed by R which tells us that this victory is the biggest since the Asian Games. Next sentence can be P as it mentions that India has increased its performance on track and field. Q provides an apt conclusion which indicates that India achieved its dream to win individual medals.

Therefore the correct answer is option 3 (SRPQ).

Note – This is one of the few questions which helps us to get the correct answer in almost no time. If we have found out that only one sentence can be used as an introductory sentence (because others are not stand-alone sentences and require the introduction of the subject), we can look at the options. In this question, only one option had S as the first sentence. So, that is our correct answer. Candidates should take note that sometimes, what is required is quick thinking. Instead of solving the entire question and then looking for the answer among the options, one can look for the options first! Practice will help develop this kind of quick thinking and keen observation.
