Direction: The sentences given in each question, when properly sequenced, form a coherent paragraph. Each sentence is labelled with a letter. Choose the most logical order of the sentences from amongst the given choices so as to form a coherent paragraph.

P : In his first inaugural address he concluded with an eloquent plea: “Ask not what your country can do for you-ask what you can do for your country”.
Q : John F. Kennedy, Democratic victor in the election of 1960, was at 43, the youngest man ever to win the presidency.
R : On television, in a series of debates- with opponent Richard Nixon, he appeared able, articulate and energetic.
S : In the campaign, he spoke of moving aggressively into the new decade, for “the New Frontier is here whether we seek it or not”.

Correct Option: B

On the basis of given paragraph , we follow sentence formation as :-
Q is the opening sentence, as it introduces the subject John F Kennedy, so we have to choose between (b) and (d). R will follow Q and S will follow R. All R, S and P talk about the speeches made by the noun subject, so we will move from the most general or broadest detail to the more specific so, from ‘a series of debits’ to ‘the campaign’ to ‘first inaugural address’, so the correct sequence is Q R S P .

P : Of course, they have not made the blunders that some others have made, but neither did they grow.
Q : The chief executive had done an excellent job in welding a group of motley and successful companies into one profitable company.
R : It is not surprising that company had been sitting on a cash hoard of about $24 billion year after year without any attempt to use it for growth or development.
S : The chief executive of the General Electric Company in England once told me that he was very happy when there were no problems in any of his many divisions.
