The correct answer is ‘RSPQ’.

Key Points

  • While arranging the parts of the passage, we should find some grammatical or contextual connections between them-
    • R follows sentence 1 as it tells us where the Malabar exercise will be held.
    • Next is S which is in pair with P as it mentions why the second phase of the exercise is better than the first.
    • After that is P which states the reason for why the 2nd phase will be more elaborate and complex.
    • Next is Q which describes another reason for the exercise being complex. It also refers back to the aircraft carriers mentioned in P.

Thus, the correct order is RSPQ:

1. The navies of India, the US, Japan, and Australia will kick off the second phase of the Malabar exercise.

R. It will be held in the northern Arabian Sea when China is closely tracking the activities of the Quad countries.

S. The second phase of drills will be more elaborate and complex than the first one.

P. It is because it will involve the participation of Indian and American aircraft carriers. 

Q. The two carriers along with other ships, submarines, and aircraft of the participating navies, would be engaged in high-intensity naval operations.

6. The exercise is being conducted at a time when India and China are locked in a border row in the Ladakh sector.

It is widely known that the use of social media affects mental health, but a new, three-year study has found that it is the lack of sleep from its use and the psychological distress caused by cyberbullying via the platforms that are the main reasons affecting one’s state of mind, more than use of the actual apps. P. Girls who were checking social media also reported to be less happy and more anxious; however, boys didn’t report the same feelings. Q. In girls, the researchers said, the negative effects were due to disrupted sleep, cyberbullying and to some extent, lack of exercise. R. Researchers found that girls and boys who checked social media sites more than thrice a day had poorer mental health and greater psychological distress. S. In boys, the same three factors — disrupted sleep, cyberbullying, lack of exercise — had an effect too, but it was much smaller. 6. Dr Dasha Nicholls, from Imperial College London, who was also involved in the study added, “It’s not the amount of social media, per se, it’s when it displaces real-life contact and activities. It’s about getting a balance.”

Thus men are considered more culpable in business failings, and that women are more nurturing than men, which makes them more at fault in actions that harm or disappoint others. Q. The findings expose some of society’s most rigidly ingrained stereotypes — that men are more competent than women. R. By contrast, the study also found a reverse gender bias in the public’s perception of business leadership: women leaders faced less flack for failures of competence than men. S. The findings are part of a broader slew of recent research focused both on evaluating the performance of male versus female business leaders (women tend to come out on top), as well as the public perception of male leaders v/s female leaders. 6. Perhaps, slowly, we’re realizing men should be as responsible for ethical conduct as women — which means we may not be far off from considering women just as competent as men.

S. Eventually, about an hour into the experiment, the shark gave up. 6. The marine biologist then removed the fibreglass divider, but the shark didn’t attack.  The shark was trained to believe a barrier existed.

A range of extreme weather events in 2018 — think extreme rainfall, floods, landslides, cyclones, and heatwaves — claimed 2,081 lives in India, more than181 other countries that featured on a new global climate risk index.

Q. In terms of economic losses, India ranked second.

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.
