Q:

In the following items, each passage consists of six sentences. The first and the sixth sentence are given in the beginning as S1 and S6. The middle four sentences in each have been removed and jumbled up. These are labeled P, Q, R and S. You are required to find out the proper sequence of the four sentences and mark your response accordingly on the Answer Sheet.

S1 :There were shots as I ran.
S6:Staying submerged was only too easy with so much clothing and my army boots.
P:The water was icy, but I stayed until I thought my lungs would burst.
Q:I tripped at theedge and went in with a splash.
R:The minute I came up I took a breath and plunged down again.
S:I ducked down, pushed between two men and ran for the river.

The proper sequence should be

A) S Q P R B) P R Q S
C) S Q R P D) Q S P R
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) S Q P R

Explanation:

The starting statements talks about the shots. The next statement would be the reaction of the speaker after the shots. So statement S states that he ducked down and ran for river. This eliminates option (B) and (D). The next statement would be Q. The continuing statement would be P, as it describes the nature of water that he felt after a splash. R would be the concluding statement as it correctly connects with the last statement given. Thus, the correct sequence is SQPR.

We are used to giving benefit of a doubt to people we are closest to, the ones who we know very well. This comes to us naturally as we know for a fact they are good people; and even more - we know they like/ love us so they wouldn't do anything against us.

A) Since we love and trust our close ones, we often tend to believe them, even when we are not sure what they are saying is true. B) Given that we are very attached to our relatives, we often try to hide their crimes and cover up for their lies.
C) Since humans are inherently doubting, there is a tendency to be sceptic about anyone. D) Humans have nepotism ingrained in them, which means that they would favour only their relatives over and above a fool proof evidence against them.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Since we love and trust our close ones, we often tend to believe them, even when we are not sure what they are saying is true.

Explanation:

To give a benefit of doubt means to decide that you will believe someone, even though you are not sure that what the person is saying is true.

My brother, David, was always close to our grandmother. Both of them shared a love of Mother Nature and of food that they had grown themselves. Whenever his schedule permitted, he would drop in for a short visit and a cup of coffee. One day, when he found no one home, he left a chunk of dirt on her porch. This started what was later to be known as his "calling card". Grandmother would come home occasionally and instantly know that Dave had been by when she spotted the chunk of dirt on her porch.

Although Grandmother had a poor upbringing in Italy, she managed to do well in the United States. She was always healthy and independent and enjoyed a fulfilling life. Recently she had a stroke and died. Everyone was saddened by her death. David was disconsolate. His life ­long friend was now gone.
