Question:

The FIRST and the LAST sentences of the paragraph are numbered 1 & 6. The others, labelled as P, Q, R and S are given below:

1. Suppose I know someone, Smith.

P. One day you come to me and say: “Smith is in Cambridge.”
Q. I inquire, and find you stood at Guildhall and saw at the other end a man and said: “That was Smith.”
R. I’d say: “Listen. This isn’t sufficient evidence.”
S. I’ve heard that he has been killed in a battle in this war.
6. If we had a fair amount of evidence he was killed I would try to make you say that you’re being credulous.

Which of the following combinations is the MOST LOGICALLY ORDERED?

Explanation:

Sentence 1 begins by the speaker stating the possibility of knowing someone named Smith. This is followed by sentence S in which the speaker talks about hearing about the death of Smith in a battle. P-Q form a link as P begins by contradicting the information that the speaker has of Smith and Q states the speculation of the speaker on this contradictory information and an inquiry that proved this information wrong. R with “isn't sufficient information” relates to 6 with “fair amount of evidence”.
Therefore, the sequence is 1SPQR6.
Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
