Para-jumble (universities and funding): Reorder the sentences to argue why state support is essential, contrasting public purpose with commercial logic. S1 = "Most of the universities in the country are now facing a financial crisis." S6 = "The Government should realise this before it is too late." Between S1 and S6, order the fragments into a policy argument: P = "Cost–benefit yardsticks should not be applied in the case of universities." Q = "The current state of affairs cannot be allowed to continue for long." R = "Universities cannot be equated with commercial enterprises." S = "Proper development of universities and colleges must be ensured." Choose the correct sequence of P–Q–R–S that completes the paragraph.
