Rearrange the following parts of the sentence to form a coherent paragraph about the social and devotional importance of the Ramayana. P: It is said that the great poet Tulsi Dass composed it under divine inspiration. Q: The Ramayana is a book of great social importance. R: It is full of devotional songs as well as tenets of social wisdom. S: People read it and worship it.

Introduction / Context:
This item tests the ability to arrange sentences to form a short, coherent paragraph about the Indian epic Ramayana. The four parts cover its importance, authorship, content and the way people treat it. To form a logical paragraph, we need to decide what acts as the topic sentence, which sentences expand the idea and which sentence naturally serves as a conclusion. Since the passage is descriptive, we also look for the smoothest narrative order rather than a cause and effect argument.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Q introduces the Ramayana directly and states that it is a book of great social importance.
• P tells us that the great poet Tulsidas composed it under divine inspiration.
• R states that it is full of devotional songs and social wisdom.
• S remarks that people read it and worship it.
• We assume the paragraph should first present the work, then talk about its origin and content, and finally mention readers' behaviour towards it.

Concept / Approach:
For descriptive rearrangement questions:

• Identify the sentence that introduces the subject by name and states its general importance. This is usually the best opener.
• Place background or authorship information immediately after the introduction.
• Follow with details about what the work contains.
• Conclude with the reaction of people or the impact of the work.

This progression mirrors how a writer normally talks about a famous text or object from general introduction to specific detail to impact.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Step 1: Q must come first because it names the Ramayana and labels it a book of great social importance. Without Q, the pronoun "it" in P and R has no clear antecedent. Step 2: After introducing the Ramayana, P naturally follows by providing authorship and divine inspiration details about how Tulsidas is believed to have composed it. Step 3: Next, R continues the description by giving information about the content: devotional songs and tenets of social wisdom. This explains why it has social importance. Step 4: Finally, S is a suitable concluding sentence, explaining how people respond to the Ramayana in practice: they read it and worship it, which underlines its devotional character. Step 5: Therefore, QPRS forms a smooth and logically ordered paragraph that moves from identification to background, to content, to public response.

Verification / Alternative check:
When we read QPRS in order, the paragraph feels complete and natural. Starting with P (as in PQRS) is unsatisfactory, because "It is said that the great poet Tulsidas composed it" refers to an "it" that has not yet been introduced. Ending with Q or P leaves the mention of worship and devotion in an awkward place in the middle. The only arrangement where pronoun references and the order of ideas all fit is QPRS.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• PQRS: Begins with authorship and uses "it" without introducing "the Ramayana", which confuses readers.
• RQPS: Starts by describing contents with "It is full...", again using "it" before naming the epic.
• SPRQ: Opens with people reading and worshipping "it", which lacks context until much later.

Common Pitfalls:
Students often ignore pronoun references ("it") and jump to any sentence that looks interesting as the start. Another pitfall is to think that mentioning worship must immediately follow mention of devotional songs; however, logical expository writing usually moves from naming the subject to origin to content to impact. Always check which sentence first introduces the proper noun or main subject; that will almost always be the correct starting point in such descriptive paragraphs.

Final Answer:
The correct sequence of the sentences is QPRS, so the right option is QPRS.
