The following sentences form a paragraph. The last sentence of the paragraph is 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.
P. Parties and civil society groups have argued that the Bill provides legitimacy to Hindus who have migrated from Bangladesh post-1971.
Q. It precludes individuals from six religious minorities from three “Muslim-dominant countries” (Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan) from being defined as “illegal immigrants” under the Foreigners Act, 1946.
R. In Assam, where illegal migration, in fact as well as in exaggeration, has defined the political landscape since the 1980s, public hearings and meetings held by a Joint Parliamentary Committee over the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016, have inevitably taken place in a charged atmosphere.
S. The National Register of Citizens, on the other hand, does not distinguish migrants on the basis of religion and regards all post-March 24, 1971 migrants, irrespective of their religion, as illegal aliens who need to be deported.
T. The intent behind this Bill, promised by the BJP in the run-up to the 2014 general election, is to clear a path to citizenship for minorities persecuted in the three countries.
6. Clearly, the Bill is seen by detractors to be breaking the general consensus on the NRC forged after years of political differences and legal challenges to the Assam Accord, of which the ongoing exercise to update the register is an outcome.Which of the following should be the THIRD sentence after rearrangement?
1). Q
2). P
3). R
4). S

Sentence 1: The first sentence of any paragraph introduces an idea or topic on which the whole paragraph talks about. It should talk about something in general and not specific details as they will come later. Sentence R is a good starting sentence.
Now QT form a pair as T mention ‘three countries’ and Q has named those three countries which are “Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan.” Now sentence P is the second sentence as it provides reason as to why the atmosphere is charged. It’s because Parties and civil society groups have argued that the Bill provides legitimacy to Hindus. We can’t write P after QT as the smooth flow of idea will break. We can’t talk about another idea then go back to the previous idea. Now we have our first four sentences and they are RPQT. Sentence 6 is given hence S is 5th sentence.
The correct order of the sentence is RPQTS6. Thus, option 1 is the correct answer.
