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. One day G. Washington was riding along a road. P. The beam was too heavy to lift without help. Q. The Corporal was giving them orders. R. On the way, he saw soldiers lifting a heavy beam. S. They needed just one more man. 6. G.Washington dismounted and helped the soldiers to lift the beam.?

Option 1 : RQPS

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. RQPS.

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 follows sentence 1 as it describes what happened on the way when he was riding along the road.
• Q uses 'them' which refers to the soldiers mentioned in R. Hence, Q follows R.
• P is the logical successor of Q as it further gives details of the beam.
• S precedes 6 as S gives the reason why G. Washington dismounted and helped them.

Sentences after rearrangement-
