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.During a research experiment, a marine biologist placed a shark into a large holding tank and then released several small bait fish into the tank. P. Again, the shark quickly attacked.  This time, however, the shark slammed into the fibreglass divider and bounced off. Q. As you would expect, the shark quickly swam around the tank, attacked and ate the smaller fish. R. The marine biologist then inserted a strong piece of clear fibreglass into the tank, creating two separate partitions.She then put the shark on one side of the fibreglass and a new set of bait fish on the other. 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.

The very first sentence tells us that the passage is going to describe an experiment. The sentence tells us about a shark and some small bait fish being placed in a tank. The sentence that logically follows this would be the one that tells us the consequence of this. Therefore, sentence Q is the next sentence. Among the given options, only one starts with Q and therefore option 3 is the correct answer. We can match the rest of the sequence and see if it fits. The rest of the sentences are about the shark failing to attack the bait fish. First among these would be the one that gives us reason for the failure. Therefore, the next sentence would be R which tells us about a fibreglass being placed between the shark and the other fish. Again, the next sentence should tell us the consequence of this action, Therefore, the next sentence would be P. The last sentence is S which tells us that as a result of the failure mentioned in P, the shark eventually gave up. Therefore, the correct sequence is QRPS.

He spotted that the elephants weren’t being kept in cages or held by the use of chains.  Q. As the man gazed upon the elephants, he was completely confused as to why the elephants didn’t just use their strength to break the rope and escape the camp. R. Curious and wanting to know the answer, he asked a trainer nearby why the elephants were just standing there and never tried to escape. S. All that was holding them back from escaping the camp, was a small piece of rope tied to one of their legs. 6. The trainer replied, "When they are young and smaller, they are tied in these ropes which they are unable to break. By the time they grow bigger and strong enough to break the rope, they are already conditioned to believe that they can't break the ropes."

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.

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.

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.”
