Correct Answer QRPS

The correct answer is ‘QRPS’.

Key Points

  • While arranging the parts of the passage, we should find some grammatical or contextual connections between them-
    • Q follows sentence 1 as it mentions since when Thanksgiving has been celebrated in Canada and the U.S.
    • Next is R as it starts with 'in Canada' which means it should follow the sentence Q. It mentions the days when it is celebrated in Canada and the U.S.
    • After that is P as it starts with the discussion of the history of thanksgiving.
    • Next is S as it mentions which group celebrated it first and is logically followed by S6 which mentions why this group celebrated it.

Thus, the correct order is QRPS:

1. Thanksgiving is a holiday that is celebrated both in Canada and in the USA.

Q. It has been a holiday in many places in Canada since 1957 and all of the American States since 1863.

R. In Canada, it is celebrated on the 2nd Monday in October while in the US it is celebrated on the 4th Thursday in November.

P. No one is sure exactly when the first Thanksgiving was celebrated but many Americans think it was in 1621.

S. It was celebrated by a small group of people from England called 'Pilgrims'.

6. It was celebrated because one of the native American people taught them how to catch fish and how to grow corn.

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.
