Key Points
- The given sentence is an example of a Sentence Jumble.
- We know that the first statement of a sentence jumbled question is usually an independent general statement, a noun, a universal fact, starting of an incident, or it starts with 'most' or 'once'.
- The Sentence P should follow S1 as it tells what happened when the little mouse was running up and down on the lion.
- Sentence P tells us that the lion awakened.
- Sentence R will be the next sentence because it tells us that the mouse begged the lion to pardon.
- Out of the given options, only Option 1 contains Sentence P as the successive sentence, thereby, making it the correct answer.
- From the above explanation, we find that the correct answer is Option 1.
Correct Answer: Once when a lion, the king of the jungle, was asleep, a little mouse began running up and down on him. This soon awakened the lion, who placed his huge paw on the mouse, and opened his big jaws to swallow him. "Pardon, O King!" cried the little mouse. I shall never repeat it and I shall never forget your kindness. "Forgive me this time and who knows, I may be able to do you a good turn one of these days!”. The lion was so tickled by the idea of the mouse being able to help him that he lifted his paw and let him go.
