The correct answer is ‘QPSR’.

Key Points

  • While arranging the parts of the passage, we should find some grammatical or contextual connections between them-
  •    Q follows sentence 1 as the passage is about the Mahabharata and it mentions that where the battle was fought. 'This battle' refers to the battle mentioned in S1.
  • Next is P as it tells us about who won the battle.
  • After that is S which describes an important part of Mahabharat i.e. Bhagavad Gita.
  • Next is R as it further tells us about the holy book Bhagavad Gita.

   Thus, the correct order is QPSR:

1. The Mahabharata is a story about a great battle between the Kauravas and the Pandavas.

Q. This battle was fought in Kurukshetra near Delhi.

P. Many kings and princes took part in the battle and the Pandavas emerged as the victors.

S. The Bhagavad Gita is a holy book of the Hindus and it is a part of the Mahabharata.

R. It is a book of collection of teachings of Lord Krishna to Arjuna on the battlefield.
