Question : Sentences of a paragraph are given below. While the first and the last sentences (S1 and S6) are in the correct order, the sentences in between are jumbled up and named P,Q,R,S. Arrange the sentences in the correct order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph.

(S1) The poster ranks high as a medium of publicity.
(P) Advertisement can be displayed before a much larger number of persons for a longer time by means of a poster than by the expenditure of the same amount of money in the Press, and it is, therefore, often found to be the better means of keeping them in the public eye.
(Q) Nor must it be forgotten that a newspaper is bought by the reader, and on that account enjoys an enhanced value; and further, that the purchaser usually takes the paper home where it is perused by the whole household.
(R) It has, by reason of its size and the facilities which it affords for the use of colour, a very powerful effect on the public mind.
(S) It must, however, be remembered that the attention received by a newspaper is much closer and more intimate than that accorded to a poster.
(S6) If more is desired than the instantaneous impact on the mind, the advertising value of the poster falls sharply.

Option 1: QSPR

Option 2: PQRS

Option 3: RPSQ

Correct Answer: RPSQ


Solution : The third option is the correct choice.

  • Sentence S1 acts as the introductory statement, followed by sentence R, which introduces the key features of a poster that contribute to its impact.
  • Sentence P discusses the advantages of posters in terms of reach and cost-effectiveness.
  • Sentence S provides a contrast by highlighting the closer and more intimate attention received by newspapers.
  • Sentence Q continues the discussion, emphasising the value of newspapers and their readership.
  • Finally, sentence S6 concludes the paragraph, presenting a caveat about the limitations of the poster's advertising value.

Therefore, the correct answer is RPSQ.
