The question below consist of a set of labelled (P, Q, R, S) sentences. Out of four options given, select the most logical order of the sentences which form a paragraph.
P. He was married to Gaia, the goddess of the earth.
Q. After a prophecy that his children would overthrow him, the original ruler of the world hid his children inside their mother (earth).
R. Gaia hated him for this.
S. Uranus had twelve children with Gaia.

Correct option is C

• (P) should come first because it introduces the relationship: he was married to Gaia.
• (S) logically follows because it adds the next relevant detail about the couple: Uranus had twelve children with Gaia.
• (Q) then explains the crucial event related to those children: after a prophecy, the ruler hid his children inside their mother (earth).
• (R) naturally concludes the paragraph because it is a reaction to the action in (Q): Gaia hated him for this.

• (a) RQSP: Starts with hatred (R) without first stating what happened and who the characters are.
• (b) PRSQ: Places (R) before (Q), but Gaia’s hatred (R) must be a result of the act described in (Q).
• (d) RPSQ: Again begins with (R) and places the reaction before the cause.
