In this question, the first and last sentences of the passage are numbered 1 and 6. The rest of the 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 and find out which of the four combinations is correct. S1: A force exists between everybody in the universe. P: Normally it is very small but when one of the bodies is a planet, like earth, the force is considerable. Q: It has been investigated by many scientists including Galileo and Newton. R: Everything on or near the surface of the earth is attracted by the mass of the earth. S: This gravitational force depends on the mass of the bodies involved. S6: The greater the mass, the greater is the earth's force of attraction on it. We can call this force of attraction gravity. The Proper sequence should be:

The correct answer is 'QSPR'.

Key Points

  • While carefully reading all statements it is clear that sentence Q will come after sentence S1.
  • This is because sentence S1 is introducing us to the fact that a force exists.
  • In sentence Q 'It' refers to the 'force' which is mentioned in sentence S1.
  • Also, sentence Q is telling us that many scientists have experimented and came to the conclusion which is mentioned in sentence S1 i.e, force exists between everybody in the universe.
  • The next sentence will be sentence S because it is telling us that the force depends on the mass of the bodies.
  • The next two sentences and sentence S6 are talking about the gravitational force specifically on earth.
  • Between sentences P and R, sentence P will come first because it is introducing us to the fact that the gravitational force is considerable on the earth.
  • Sentence R will come last because it is further explaining sentence P.
  • It is telling us that the force is considerable on earth because everything on or near the surface of the earth is attracted by the mass of the earth.
  • Therefore, the correct arrangement is 'QSPR'.
  • Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.

 

The correct arrangement is: It has been investigated by many scientists including Galileo and Newton. This gravitational force depends on the mass of the bodies involved. Normally it is very small but when one of the bodies is a planet, like earth, the force is considerable. Everything on or near the surface of the earth is attracted by the mass of the earth.

Straight As may be the wrong goal, suggests a new study that has determined learning is optimized when we fail 15% of the time. P. This is a concept that society has intuited for a long time, across a variety of domains — for instance, this just-outside-one’s-grasp learning is observable in video games, in which the player is encouraged or forced to a higher level of difficulty once a performance criterion has been achieved.  Q. In both cases, machines and animals learned the fastest when difficulty was such that the subject would be right 85% of the time and be wrong 15%. But researchers say their finding is likely applicable to humans.  R. Interestingly, it’s not a new concept — the “zone of proximal development,” a theory developed in the 1930s by psychologist Lev Vygotsky described the sweet spot of learning: when a student is faced with a challenge just beyond their ability to solve it alone. 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.
