Discussion
Identify the option that has the most appropriate sequence such that a coherent paragraph is formed:
P. At once, without thinking much, people rushed towards the city in hordes with the sole aim of grabbing as much gold as they could.
Q. However, little did they realize about the impending hardships they would have to face on their way to the city: miles of mud, unfriendly forests, hungry beasts and inimical local lords - all of which would reduce their chances of getting gold to almost zero.
R. All of them thought that easily they could lay their hands on gold and become wealthy overnight.
S. About a hundred years ago, the news that gold had been discovered in Kolar spread like wildfire and the whole State was in raptures.
Answer: D
The coherent order is S \(\to\) P \(\to\) R \(\to\) Q.
S introduces the topic, the news of gold found in Kolar a hundred years ago. P follows with the reaction, people rushing towards the city. R gives their belief that they would get rich easily, and Q, opening with 'However', contrasts that belief with the hardships ahead.
Options starting with P or Q cannot be right, because both refer to 'the city' and 'gold' before S has introduced them. S \(\to\) Q puts the contrasting 'However' before anyone has acted or hoped.
