In the following question, the first and the last parts of the sentence/passage are numbered 1 and 6. The rest of the sentence/passage is split into four parts - P, Q, R, and S. These four parts are not given in their proper order. Read the sentence/passage and find the most logical order of the parts between 1 and 6.
1. compass is an important tool in navigation.
P: It always points towards the magnetic north.
Q: Even in cloudy weather, it shows direction.
R: It does not depend on GPS or electricity.
S: Hikers and sailors rely on it during travel.
6. Thus, it remains a reliable tool even today.

Correct option is A

Option (a) is the correct order of the given sentences.
· P directly explains how a compass works (points to magnetic north) → natural first detail after the topic sentence.
· Q adds a situational advantage (works in cloudy weather), continuing the line of reliability.
· R strengthens reliability by stressing independence from GPS/electricity—a key contrast with modern devices.
· S brings in users (hikers and sailors), showing practical reliance.
· With these supports, the conclusion “ Thus, it remains a reliable tool even today” (6) follows logically from reliability claims in P, Q, R and user trust in S.
