Right Answer is: D

SOLUTION

The correct solution is option 4 i.e. RQSP

Explanation

  • Sentence S1 is the first sentence in the arrangement. S1 introduces terms like 'Earth' and 'satellites'.
  • Sentence R is a continuation of S1 as it explains about the satellites. So, R follows S1.
  • Sentence Q is a continuation of R. So, Q follows R.
  • Being fast is mentioned in sentence Q which is continued in sentence S which talks about its speed. So, S follows Q.
  • They tend to go in a straight path but they don't which is due to the pull from the earth which is mentioned in sentence P. So, P follows S.
  • In the end, S6 is the last sentence in the arrangement which explains that due to that pull they move in an orbit.

Thus, the correct arrangement would be RQSP.
