The following sentences form a paragraph. The sentences are numbered as P, Q, R, S and T. These sentences are not given in their proper order. Read the sentences and choose the alternative that arranges them in correct order.
P. Though throughout his career, Stella shifted to a more exuberant use of color, shapes and curving forms.
Q. He calls this artistic development an evolution from Minimalism to Maximalism.
R. His earliest celebrated works were painted in black.
S. Frank Stella is considered one of the greatest living artists in the modern art world today.
T. Frank Stella is an American artist known for developing a Minimalist style that rejected the emotionality of Abstract Expressionism.
The first sentence in a paragraph always introduces a new topic and must be a sentence with independent meaning.
Here, both S and T introduce the artist; but S introduces the artist while T also gives more information; so, S must be the first, which is followed by T, the second sentence.
So, ST is the correct order.
Out of the given options, only option 3 reflects this order.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.
