Para-jumble (mythology narrative): Arrange the events about King Shantanu and the fisher girl into a coherent story arc with cause–effect links. S1 = "Once King Shantnu met a young and beautiful fisher girl." S6 = "Devavrata, the King's son, asked him the reason of his sadness." Between S1 and S6, order the fragments to preserve motivation and consequence: P = "He went to the fisherman and asked him for her hand in marriage." Q = "The King was extremely sad and returned to his palace." R = "He fell in love with the fisher girl." S = "The fisherman agreed to it condition that the son of his daughter should be heir to the throne of Hastinapur." Choose the correct sequence of P–Q–R–S that completes the paragraph.

  • R states love as the immediate consequence.
  • P follows with the marriage request.
  • S presents the stringent condition.
  • Q shows the King's sadness, setting up S6.

Concept / ApproachChronological + causal sequencing works best for narratives: encounter → emotion → proposal → condition → reaction.

Step-by-stepS1 + R → love at first sight.… + P → formal proposal.… + S → condition for consent.… + Q → sadness that motivates S6.

Rejecting distractorsPQRS skips the love step; QSPR begins with the reaction before the trigger.
