Para-jumble (liberty vs. confinement): Reorder the sentences to show that even when a man is physically imprisoned, his inner life can remain free and undefeated. S1 = "A man can be physically confined within stone walls." S6 = "No tyranny can intimidate a lover of liberty." Between S1 and S6, arrange the following in a logically persuasive order: P = "But his mind and spirit will still be free." Q = "Thus his freedom of action may be restricted." R = "His hopes and aspiration still remain with him." S = "Hence, he will be free spiritually if not physically." Choose the correct sequence of P–Q–R–S that completes the paragraph.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: PQRS

Explanation:


Given data

  • S1 states physical imprisonment within stone walls.
  • P counters with inner freedom of mind and spirit.
  • Q concedes that physical action is restricted.
  • R adds that hopes and aspirations persist.
  • S concludes with spiritual freedom despite physical restraint.
  • S6 generalizes that tyranny cannot break a true lover of liberty.


Concept / Approach
Move from physical constraint (S1) → inner liberty (P) → acknowledged limitation (Q) → enduring inner resources (R) → spiritual freedom (S), then the universal maxim (S6).


Step-by-step ordering
S1 + P → even if confined, the mind remains free.… + Q → acknowledge that actions are indeed restricted.… + R → hopes and aspirations survive the prison walls.… + S → therefore, spiritual freedom endures.


Why others fail
QPRS begins with concession before affirming inner liberty; SRQP concludes too early without building the inner arc; QPSR inverts the culminating 'Hence' (S) away from the conclusion.


Final Answer
PQRS
