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. We stayed on the second floor of an individual house. P. Then she would add the three fourths water that he would anyway add to the milk. Q. One day she said to him that he was too old to climb upstairs with the heavy can of milk. R. My mother was very angry with the old man who brought diluted milk to us. S. She suggested to him that he should come up with the can, one fourth full with milk. 6. So that he was not burdened with climbing upstairs with the heavy can. ?

Option 2 : RQSP

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. RQSP.

While arranging the parts of the sentence given in options, we have to find some grammatical or contextual connections between them, so let’s find out-

• R should follow sentence 1 as it gives an introduction to the subject matter being discussed.
• Next is Q as it tells what happened one day.
• S follows Q as it further elaborates what the speaker's mother said to the old man.
• Last is P as it finally describes what her mother would do i.e. add three-fourths water.

Sentences after rearrangement-

We stayed on the second floor of an individual house. My mother was very angry with the old man who brought diluted milk to us. One day she said to him that he was too old to climb upstairs with the heavy can of milk. She suggested to him that he should come up with the can, one fourth full with milk. Then she would add the three fourths water that he would anyway add to the milk. So that he was not burdened with climbing upstairs with the heavy can.
