Para-jumble (sentence arrangement): Arrange P–Q–R–S to complete the incident aboard a ship where a warning sound was ignored. S1 = "A noise started above their heads." Q = "That was to show everyone that there was something wrong." P = "But people did not take it seriously." R = "It was a dangerous thing to do." S = "For, within minutes, the ship began to sink." S6 = "Nearly 200 lives were lost on the fateful day." Between S1 and S6, place P–Q–R–S in an escalating cause-and-effect order. Choose the correct sequence of P–Q–R–S that completes the paragraph.
