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.

Difficulty: Medium

Correct Answer: QRPS

Explanation:


Given data

  • S1 states the crisis.
  • Q insists on urgency.
  • R draws a crucial distinction: universities ≠ commercial enterprises.
  • P infers that cost–benefit logic is inappropriate.
  • S concludes with the requirement of proper development, leading to S6's call on government.


Concept / Approach
Urgency → principle → policy implication → programmatic requirement. This flow builds a persuasive argument for state action.


Step-by-step
S1 + Q → assert urgency.… + R → set the non-commercial premise.… + P → derive the policy consequence.… + S → demand proper development.


Final Answer
QRPS
