In the following question, the 1st and the last part of the sentence/passage are numbered 1 and 6. The rest of the sentence/ 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/passage and find out which of the four combinations is correct. 1. Earthquakes are the shaking and moving of the ground when energy is released in waves. P. These waves are similar to ocean waves, which move through water. Q. These waves are called seismic waves. R. Seismic waves, however, move through the ground. S. Earthquakes can also be caused by other natural events, such as landslides and volcanoes. 6. Manmade earthquakes happen because of nuclear testing and mining explosions.

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. QPRS.
- While arranging the parts of the passage, we have to find some grammatical or contextual connections between them-
- Q follows sentence 1 as it tells what the waves mentioned in sentence 1 are called.
- Next is P as it further describes the similarity between these waves and ocean waves.
- After that is R as it tells how seismic waves are in contrast to ocean waves.
- Last is S as it describes the natural causes of earthquakes. Sentence 6 talks about manmade earthquakes.
Correct order- Earthquakes are the shaking and moving of the ground when energy is released in waves. These waves are called seismic waves. These waves are similar to ocean waves, which move through water. Seismic waves, however, move through the ground. Earthquakes can also be caused by other natural events, such as landslides and volcanoes. Manmade earthquakes happen because of nuclear testing and mining explosions.
