In the following question, the 1st and the last part of the sentence/passage are numbered 1 and 6. The rest of the sentence/ passage is split into four parts and named P, Q, R and S. These four parts are not given in their proper order. Read the sentence/ passage and find out which of the four combinations is correct. 1. Jupiter has 2.5 times more mass than all the other planets of the solar system combined and is 11 times as large as Earth in diameter. P. Jupiter is so large that scientists believe it almost became a star: as the gases and dust contracted to the form the planet, Q. But there was not enough mass available to create the temperature needed to start a fusion reaction such as that of the Sun. R. Thus, Jupiter has been cooling down ever since.  S. gravitational forces created tremendous pressure and the temperature inside the core—as high as tens of thousands of degrees. 6. Even so, Jupiter radiates about as much heat as it receives from the Sun.

The first sentence tells us about the large size of the planet Jupiter. The next sentence should be P because it tells us the consequence of Jupiter's large size. Sentence S is a continuation of P because it continues to tell us about the conditions at Jupiter which make scientists believe that it almost became a star. Sentence Q should logically be the next sentence. Having listed all favourable conditions for becoming a star, this sentence tells us why Jupiter could not become a star. Sentence R should be the second last one because it tells us that because of failing to become a star (as told in Q), Jupiter started cooling down ever since. Therefore, the correct sequence is PSQR.
