Multiple choice

Directions: In question given below, each passage consists of six sentences. The first & six sentences are given in the beginning The middle four sentences in each have been removed and jumbled up. These are labeled P, Q, R & S. Find out the proper order for the four sentences.

S1 : Paleobotany is the study of fossil plants preserved in rocks dating back it millions of years. S6 : The fossil plants indicates the age of the rock, and also point to facts regarding climate, Temperature and topography. P : Records of the history of the world are contained in fossils. Q : Through the ages, plants have evolved from simple to more complex forms. R : First there were water plants; then land plants appeared during the Paleozoic era. S : But since the fossil remains appear locked in rock layers, they are closely related to the Geologists area of investigation. The proper sequence should be:

  1. RQSP

  2. SQRP

  3. PSQR

  4. QRPS

D Correct answer
Explanation

The correct sequence QRPS creates a logical flow about plant evolution and paleobotany: Q establishes plant evolution from simple to complex, R provides specific examples (water to land plants), P connects to fossil records containing world history, and S links fossils to geology. This sequence moves from biological evolution to fossil evidence to geological context, perfectly setting up S6 about how fossil plants indicate rock age and climate information.
