The following question consists of six sentences of a passage. The first and the sixth sentences are given in the beginning as S1 and S6. The middle four sentences in each have been jumbled up and labelled P, Q, R and S. You are required to find the proper sequence of the four sentences and mark your response accordingly. S1: There have been two schools of thought which deal with the errors of learners. S6: Both views are popular today but the second is gaining ground fast. P: The philosophy of the second school is that errors are natural and they will occur in any learning. Q: So- errors, they say, is a sign of faulty teaching methods. R: The first school maintains that if teaching methods are perfect, errors will never occur. S: They argue that we should concentrate on how to deal with errors, instead of on method of teaching. The correct sequence should be

The opening sentence S1 introduces the topic of discussion which is two different schools of thought which deal with the errors of learners. We have to arrange the remaining sentences in a meaningful sequence.
First sentence: Sentence R includes the word 'first' which is an automatic hint that it should be the first in the sequence.
Second sentence: Next sentence should be Q as it serves as a conclusive argument to the first school of thought which says that error is a result of faulty teaching methods.
Third sentence: Sentence P again contains the word 'second school of thought' which directly tells us about the second school of thought which calls error as a naturally occurring thing.
Fourth sentence: The sentence that should follow P should express the ideas of the second school of thought, hence, sentence S.
