Para-jumble (freedom movement portrait): Reorder the sentences to show how Gandhi's arrival felt and what he did, moving from impact to origin and outreach. S1 = "And then Gandhi came." S6 = "Political freedom took new shape and then acquired a new content." Between S1 and S6, arrange the fragments into a powerful, logically flowing portrait: P = "Get off the backs of these peasants and workers, he told us, all you who live by their exploitation." Q = "He was like a powerful current of fresh air, like a beam of light, like a whirlwind that upset many things." R = "He spoke their language and constantly drew their attention to their appalling conditions." S = "He didn't descend from the top; he seemed to emerge from the masses of India." Choose the correct sequence of P–Q–R–S that completes the paragraph.

Difficulty: Medium

Correct Answer: SRQP

Explanation:


Given data

  • S1 announces Gandhi's arrival.
  • S emphasizes his grassroots origin.
  • R shows his connection with the masses via language and focus.
  • Q captures the sweeping, invigorating impact.
  • P quotes his direct moral injunction.


Concept / Approach
Construct the portrait as origin → method → felt impact → call to action. After S1, we first establish that Gandhi arises from the people (S), then we show how he connects (R), then how that felt (Q), and finally the explicit message (P) that leads into S6's political transformation.


Step-by-step
S1 + S → he emerges from the masses, not the elite.… + R → speaks their language; focuses attention on conditions.… + Q → metaphorical impact (fresh air/whirlwind).… + P → direct exhortation to stop exploitation.


Why distractors fail
QSRP foregrounds impact before grounding his origin; RSQP begins with outreach without establishing who he is to the masses; PRSQ starts with the injunction without context.


Final Answer
SRQP
