Para-jumble (sentence arrangement): Arrange P–Q–R–S to complete the explanation about weather-vanes, barometers, and wind direction. S1 = "This weather-vane often tops a church spire, tower, or high building." S = "Just as the barometer only tells us the pressure of air, the weather-vane tells us the direction of wind." P = "They are only wind-vanes." Q = "Neither alone can tell us what the weather will be." R = "They are designed to point to the direction from which the wind is coming." S6 = "The weather-vane can, however, give us some indication of other aspects." Between S1 and S6, place P–Q–R–S in a coherent scientific order. Choose the correct sequence of P–Q–R–S that completes the paragraph.

Difficulty: Medium

Correct Answer: SPQR

Explanation:


Given data

  • S clarifies the function of a weather-vane (wind direction) vs. barometer (pressure).
  • P emphasizes limitation: merely a wind-vane.
  • Q draws a conclusion: neither device alone predicts weather.
  • R specifies design—points to the incoming wind direction.


Concept/Approach
State primary function → acknowledge limitation → general conclusion → mechanical detail.


Step-by-step reasoning
S: Start with the precise role of a weather-vane. P: Underscore that it is only a wind-direction indicator. Q: Therefore, by itself it cannot forecast weather. R: Provide the specific operational description (points to wind's source).


Final Answer
SPQR
