The following sentences form a paragraph. The first and the fourth sentence of the paragraph are given. The rest of the sentences are numbered as P, Q, R and S and T. These five parts are not given in their proper order. Read the sentences and choose the alternative that arranges them in correct order.

1. In keeping with its hardline stance on trade matters, the US continues to press for damages against India on poultry import curbs, despite India having relaxed them in recent months.

P. Now, US poultry imports have started to arrive, but the US is yet to withdraw its claim of $450 million in annual damages to its industry, made before the ‘retaliatory panel’ of the WTO.

Q. Citing avian influenza concerns, India had for years virtually banned poultry imports from the US, prompting the latter to move the WTO.

4. Since then, India has made two rounds of changes in its bird flu regulations, to bring them in line with WTO norms.

R. The US, using all possible means to push exports, is merely pursuing a hard bargain.

S. In 2015, the WTO ruled against India, saying that its curbs were disproportionate to the threat and constituted a non-tariff barrier.

T. Meanwhile, the WTO’s compliance panel is yet to rule on whether India’s amended regulations are acceptable.
Which of the following should be the THIRD sentence after rearrangement?
1). Q
2). S
3). P
4). R

Sentence 1 is given. Now sentence 2 should continue talking about the idea or topic introduced. Sentence Q provides the necessary background information about the topic and it is the 2nd sentence. Now 4th sentence mention a time period by ‘since then’ and it refers to the 2015 ruling of WTO in sentence S thus 1QS4 is our first four sentences. Now sentence P is the obvious 5th sentence as it now shows the effect of the WTO ruling. Sentence T also talks about a WTO panel and it will follow sentence P. Sentence R is a good concluding sentence as it ends the passage with a final thought.

 So, the correct order of sentences is 1QS4PTR.

Thus, option 2 is the correct answer.
