Question : 55 of 120

Marks: +1, -0

Directions: In this section, each item consists of six sentences of a passage. The first and sixth sentences are given in the beginning as S1 and S6. The middle four sentences in each item have been jumbled up and labelled as P, Q, Rand S. You are required to find the proper sequence of the four sentences and mark your response accordingly on the Answer Sheet.

S1: I had spent many nights in the jungle looking for game, but this was the first time I had ever spent a night looking for a man-eater.

S6: It was in this position·my men an hour later found me fast asleep; of the tiger, I had neither heard nor seen anything.

P: I bitterly regretted the impulse that had induced me to place myself at the man-eater's mercy.

Q: The length of road immediately in front of me was brilliantly lit by the moon, but to right and left the overhanging trees cast dark shadows, and when the night wind agitated the branches and the shadows moved, I saw a dozen tigers advancing on me.

R: As the grey dawn was lighting up the snowy range which I was facing, I rested my head on my drawn-up knees.

S: I lacked the courage to return to the village and admit I was too frightened to carry out my self-imposed task, and with teeth chattering, as much from fear as from cold, I sat out the long night.

The correct sequence should be

QPSR
