Para-jumble (folk tale setup): Reorder the sentences to introduce three boastful friends, establish their power and reputation, and launch the quest against Death. S1 = "Once upon a time there lived three young men in a certain town of Hindustan." S6 = "All of them set out in search of their foe called Death." Between S1 and S6, arrange the fragments in a natural narrative build-up: P = "All the people of the neighbourhood were mortally afraid of them." Q = "They were so powerful that they could catch growing lions and tear them to pieces." R = "Someone told them that they would become immortal if they killed Death." S = "The young men believed themselves to be very good friends." Choose the correct sequence of P–Q–R–S that completes the paragraph.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: SQPR

Explanation:


Given data

  • S1 starts the fairy-tale tone.
  • S asserts their tight friendship (character base).
  • Q magnifies strength (they can overpower lions).
  • P shows public fear (reputation effect).
  • R introduces the inciting rumor about killing Death, setting up S6.


Concept / Approach
Character → power → reputation → quest trigger. The rumor (R) must come last among the mid-sentences to motivate the departure in S6.


Step-by-step
S1 + S → three friends as a unit.… + Q → display extraordinary power.… + P → the neighbourhood's fear validates their might.… + R → the promise of immortality launches the quest (S6).


Final Answer
SQPR
