SSC CHSL 2022 · Question 85 of 92
English Comprehension
The correct answer is 'Option 1'. Key Points The correct order of these sentences is indeed PSRQ, which tells a coherent and chronological story about Marley's illness and death. Here's the reasoning: P. "In July 1977, Marley was found to have a type of malignant melanoma (cancer) under the nail of a toe." - This sentence is logically first as it introduces the subject of Marley's illness. S. "Marley turned down his doctors' advice to have his toe amputated, citing his religious beliefs." - This sentence logically follows P because it describes Marley's response to his diagnosis. R. "Despite his illness, he continued touring until his health deteriorated as the cancer had spread throughout his body." - This sentence follows S, describing what happened after Marley declined the recommended medical treatment. Q. "He died on 11 May 1981 at Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Miami (now University of Miami Hospital) at the age of 36." - This sentence logically concludes the sequence, giving the final result of Marley's illness. Therefore, the correct sentence reads: "In July 1977, Marley was found to have a type of malignant melanoma (cancer) under the nail of a toe. Marley turned down his doctors' advice to have his toe amputated, citing his religious beliefs. Despite his illness, he continued touring until his health deteriorated as the cancer had spread throughout his body. He died on 11 May 1981 at Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Miami (now University of Miami Hospital) at the age of 36." This sequence (PSRQ) is therefore the correct answer.
