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. Deforestation is the permanent destruction of forests in order to make the land available for other uses. P. Common methods of deforestation are burning trees and clear-cutting. Q. The problem, however, is that nearly half of the world's tropical forests have been cleared. R. Burning, on the other hand, can be done quickly, in vast swaths of land, or more slowly with the slash-and-burn technique. S. Clear-cutting is when large swaths of land are cut down all at once. 6. This leads to a 6 to 12 percent increase in annual global carbon emission.

The first sentence gives us the definition of deforestation. The next sentence should be P because it tells us about the two methods used for deforestation. The next sentence would be either S because it defines 'clear-cutting' which is mentioned in the preceding sentence. Sentence R would come after S and not before S because of the phrase 'On the other hand'. The second last sentence would be Q which tells us about the ill effects of deforestation. The last sentence continues along the same lines. Therefore, the correct sequence is PSRQ.
