Question

Identify the option that has the most appropriate sequence such that a coherent paragraph is formed: P. It is because deer, like most of the animals that tigers normally prey on, run much faster! It simply means, another day of empty stomach for the big cats. Q. Tigers spend most of their life searching for food. R. If they trace the scent of deer, tigers follow the trail, chase the deer for a mile or two in the dark, and yet may not catch them. S. For several nights, they relentlessly prowl through the forest, hunting for a trail that may lead to their prey.

Correct answer (C) Q \to S \to R \to P Solution To form a coherent paragraph, we look for logical flow: 1. Q is the best opening sentence as it introduces the general subject: tigers and their constant search for food. 2. S follows Q by describing the specific method of this search: prowling for nights hunting for a trail. 3. R describes a specific scenario that occurs once a trail (scent) is found: the chase and the possibility of failure. 4. P provides the reason for the failure mentioned in R (deer run faster) and concludes with the consequence (empty stomach). The logical sequence is Q \to S \to R \to P, which is option (C).
