Direction: The question below consists of a set of labelled sentences in which first and the last sentence is given. Out of the four options given, select the most logical order of the sentences to form a coherent paragraph.
S1- Climatic changes have become more prominent now because of global warming which is a global concern.
P- Such gases never let sun rays go back to the atmosphere, however, trap heat from them.
Q- The release of various greenhouse gases in the atmosphere by many natural means and human activities causes an increase in atmospheric temperature because such gases have a capability to absorb all the heat of environment from the sun, burning coal, etc.
R- Both are hot issues of the current time and it is the time to analyse causes and prevention methods to prevent global warming.
S- Fossil fuels burning release more carbon dioxide which is increasing day by day because of deforestation.
S6- Plants are the main source to utilize carbon dioxide as a food, however, we are disturbing the natural cycle by cutting more plants.

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept: In a para-jumble with a fixed opening and closing sentence, the correct middle order is the one where every connector, pronoun, or demonstrative ('both', 'such', 'these') in a sentence points back to an idea that the sentence immediately before it has already introduced.
R comes right after S1: R opens with "Both are hot issues of the current time", and "both" needs exactly two items just introduced — S1 names exactly two (climatic change, and global warming). R also sets the paragraph's agenda: analysing causes and prevention.
Q follows R: having promised "causes", the paragraph must next name one — Q identifies the release of greenhouse gases (natural and human) as the cause of rising temperature, and explains that these gases absorb heat from the sun, burning coal, etc.
P follows Q: P opens with "Such gases", a demonstrative that needs an immediately preceding mention of gases — only Q supplies that. P then adds the mechanism (they trap heat instead of letting sunlight re-radiate).
S follows P and leads into S6: S adds a related but distinct cause (fossil-fuel burning raising carbon dioxide because of deforestation), which flows directly into the closing sentence S6 about plants and cutting them down.
Cross-check: try swapping any pair and a reference breaks — for instance, moving Q away from directly before P leaves "such gases" without its antecedent, and moving R away from directly after S1 leaves "both" without its antecedent. Only the order R, Q, P, S keeps every reference intact from S1 through to S6, so a valid sequence does exist among the given options.
