Para-jumble (flight narrative): Reorder the sentences to capture the fear of falling, the brief silence, and the instinctive unfolding of wings during the dive. S1 = "As he passed beneath her he heard the swish of her wings." S6 = "The next moment he felt his wings spread outwards." Between S1 and S6, arrange the fragments in a vivid, moment-by-moment sequence: P = "He was not falling head long now." Q = "The monstrous terror seized him." R = "But it only lasted a minute." S = "He could hear nothing." Choose the correct sequence of P–Q–R–S that completes the paragraph.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: QSRP

Explanation:


Given data

  • S1: A swish is heard while passing beneath her.
  • Q: Terrible fear seizes him.
  • S: Sudden sensory blank—he hears nothing.
  • R: The silence/fear lasts only a minute.
  • P: He realizes he is no longer falling headlong—control begins to return.
  • S6: Wings spread outward.


Concept / Approach
Model the internal sequence: fear spikesensory tunnelbrief durationregain controlwings spread. This ordering reflects a realistic panic-to-recovery arc.


Step-by-step ordering
S1 + Q → Panic response.… + S → Auditory blankness amplifies terror.… + R → The spell is brief.… + P → Transition from headlong fall to controlled glide, matching S6.


Why other orders fail
PSQR starts control before terror is established; QSPR moves to duration (R) too late and delays the sensory void that characterizes panic; PRQS disrupts the panic-to-recovery logic.


Final Answer
