(S1) Newspapers, especially of the popular variety, aim to do two things: to inform and to entertain.

(P) Entertainment may be principally found in the centre pages of the newspaper in some of the feature articles and in some local news stories.
(Q) The principal aim of the short news report on the front pages is to inform.
(R) Most newspapers are published daily, and the news reporters must make sure that they have up-to-the-minute news.
(S) In their news reports, they will aim to create a sense of immediacy, to convey the impression that they have 'rushed' the news to the reader and 'that the information contained in the very latest.'

(S6) Reporters also wish to create a sense of authenticity, that is, that their news is accurate and genuine.

Correct Answer: P, Q, R, S


Solution : The correct order is the fourth option , i.e., P, Q, R, S .

Sentence (P) comes first after S1 because it expands on the aspect of entertainment. After that, sentence (Q) is the most appropriate because it introduces the primary purpose of front-page news reports. Sentence (R) comes next, as it provides context for the previous sentence. Sentence (S) is at the end because it continues to describe the approach of news reporters.
