The following sentences form a paragraph. The second and the fifth sentences of the paragraph are given. The rest of the sentences are numbered as P, Q, R, S and T. These five parts are not given in their proper order. Read the sentences and rearrange them to form a meaningful paragraph then answer the questions given below.
P. However, it ended supreme rule by French kings and strengthened the middle class.
2. The revolution, which lasted from 1789 to 1799, also had far-reaching effects on the rest of Europe.
Q. It began with a government financial crisis but quickly became a movement of reform and violent change.
R. The French Revolution brought about great changes in the society and government of France.
5. After the revolution began, no European kings, nobles, or other members of the aristocracy could take their powers for granted or ignore the ideals of liberty and equality.
S. One of them was that the revolution introduced democratic ideals to France but did not make the nation a democracy.
T. In one of the early events, a crowd in Paris captured the Bastille, a royal fortress and hated symbol of oppression.
The first sentence of any paragraph introduces an idea or topic which the whole paragraph talks about. It should talk about something general and not the specific details which will only come later. $Hence the 1st sentence is R as it introduces the topic of the French Revolution.
The 2nd sentence is given. S is the 3rd sentence since it gives information on one of the far-reaching effects mentioned in 2.
P should follow S since it starts with 'however' which makes it a contradictory statement to S. Hence P is the 4th sentence.
The 5th sentence is given. Q is the 6th sentence since it gives more information on how the revolution began.
This leaves T as the last sentence.
The correct order is R2SPQT.
Hence the correct answer is option 4.
7. Choose the correct meaning of the proverb/idiom. Bon appetit
