Question
1. On her twelfth birthday, Courtney’s dad and mom
presented her a huge box. P. Courtney named him Stanley. Q. Every time she called its name, it squeaked and did a dance. R. Human but not human. S. Standing in the middle of the box was a tiny human-like figure. 6. Stanley stayed in his box, very happy at first, but then he slowly got sick. Sentences of a paragraph are given below. While the first and the last sentences are in the correct order, the sentences in between are jumbled up. Arrange the sentences P, Q, R and S in the correct order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph.Solution
Sentences P, Q and R talk about some human and the human is introduced in S. So, S is the second sentence, as it gives introduction to what we are talking about. R follows S, as it gives some additional information about the subject. P is the next sentence. Only after naming, can it be called by the name. Q is the last in the set. So, the correct sequence is SRPQ.
