Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Answer: The correct sequence of the sentences is Q → R → S → P.
In full, the paragraph reads:
Time and tide have their own course in their routine as per nature’s rule.
They do not wait for anyone.
They come and go their own ways.
A wise man makes the best use of his time.
Reasoning:
The first sentence introduces the general idea about time and tide, so it properly serves as the introductory sentence.
The next two sentences explain and elaborate on that idea: one states that they do not wait for anyone, and the other says they come and go on their own.
The final sentence gives the concluding moral about making good use of time, so it naturally closes the paragraph.
Thus the coherent and meaningful order is: "Time and tide have their own course in their routine as per nature’s rule." → "They do not wait for anyone." → "They come and go their own ways." → "A wise man makes the best use of his time."
