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 life­long friend was now gone.

David would drop in for a short visit and leave a _____ as a sign on grandma's porch if she was not at home.

A) schedule B) chunk of dirt
C) calling card D) cup of coffee

Q:

There is no reason (that life may exist) P (in great profusion) Q (why we should not be willing to think) R (in other worlds) S

The correct sequence should be

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

Explanation:

Since, the sentence starts talking about the reason; R will be the continuing statement as it goes with the flow of the statement. The continuing statement talks about the existing of life i.e. P. Thus, all other options are eliminated. The correct formation would be, ‘There is no reason why we should not be willing to think that life may exist in great profusion in other worlds.’
