Correct Answer :
RSPQ
Solution :
To arrange the jumbled sentences in a logical and meaningful order, let's analyze the sequence of events:
1. Sentence R: "A tiger had wandered into the fields at dawn." This introduces the main subject (the tiger) and sets the initial situation/setting (wandering into the fields at dawn). This is the perfect opening sentence.
2. Sentence S: "The farmer saw it and raised an alarm." The pronoun "it" refers back to "A tiger" introduced in sentence R. The action of the farmer seeing the tiger logically follows its arrival.
3. Sentence P: "The noise scared away the tiger." wait, let's look at sentence Q: "The villagers rushed with sticks and tools." and sentence P: "The noise scared away the tiger."
Let's see if the sequence is R -> S -> P -> Q or R -> S -> Q -> P.
If R: Tiger wanders in.
S: Farmer sees it and raises an alarm.
Q: In response to the alarm, the villagers rush with sticks and tools (making noise).
P: The noise (made by the villagers and the alarm) scared away the tiger.
Therefore, the logical flow is:
- First, the tiger enters the fields (R).
- Next, a farmer spots the tiger and screams/raises an alarm (S).
- Hearing the alarm, the villagers run to the fields with sticks and tools (Q).
- Finally, the noise generated by this commotion scares the tiger away (P).
Thus, the correct chronological and meaningful order of the sentences is RSPQ.
