CDS English & Comprehension Verbal Ability Para Jumbles MCQ Questions

S1: A seasoned cricketer catches a cricket ball coming in with great speed far more easily than a novice, who can hurt his hands in the act.
S6: The conclusion is clear: force not only depends on the change in momentum, but also on how fast the change is brought about.
P: The novice, on the other hand, keeps his hands fixed and tries to catch the ball almost instantly.
Q: One reason is that the seasoned cricketer allows a longer time for his hands to stop the ball.
R: Consequently, he needs to provide a much greater force to stop the ball instantly, and this hurts.
S: He does this by drawing his hands backward in the act of catching the ball.
Arrange the sentences P, Q, R, S to form a coherent paragraph between S1 and S6.

S1: People fall down from staircases in different ways in different countries.
S6: This is because for the Americans, their home is usually the only place where they regularly use the stairs.
P: They rely, instead, on the ease and safety of lifts and escalators which are ubiquitous in such places.
Q: This is not because the Japanese are more reckless staircase users, but simply because Americans don't much use the stairs in public places.
R: Staircase injuries, therefore, happen mostly in the home.
S: For instance, someone in Japan is far more likely to be hurt in a staircase fall in an office, department store or railway station than is anyone in the United States.

S1 : Every geological period has been dominated by one particular form of life; as conditions changed to those of a new period, different types of organisms emerged into dominance.

S6 : The origin of completely new biological systems is comparatively rare, so consequently only a few major types have developed during the history of life.

P : Individual shifts rely on opportunity, ecological access, and the development of a new adaptation.

Q : Characteristically these shifts are rapid and are followed by a bout of adaptive radiation into the new ecological zone — for example, with the emergence of life on land.

R : Within each period, natural selection has created a vast array of adaptive experiments culminating in a breakthrough to a new biological system that may cross the ecological barrier to the next period.

S : Every breakthrough of shift in dominance is dependent on ones that have occurred before so that the process of evolution is progressive.

S1 : Glaciation has important effects on the landscape beyond the direct modifications created by ice erosion and deposition.

S6 : At the same time, ice advanced from the Welsh mountains into the Vale of Evesham and combined with northern ice to pond up a large proglacial lake covering much of the Midlands.

P : One example is that glaciation frequently disrupts pre-existing drainage lines, initiating a new pattern persisting after the ice has disappeared.

Q : The Midlands, what is now the Coventry/Warwick area, was formerly drained by the head waters of the River Soar, flowing into the Trent south of Nottingham.

R : Two well-documented instances of such effects occur in England.

S1 : The primary evidence for climate change that occurred many million years ago is the rocks and deposits themselves.

S6 : In other words, despite the clear legacy in many parts of the world of recent glaciation, the vast majority of sedimentary rocks were laid down in warm climatic conditions.

P : Sediments and fossil in the poles tell us a great deal about the environment in which they were laid down.

Q : We must, of course, bear in mind when interpreting this information that, because of the movement of the continents, no one latitude of the Earth has necessarily gone through such marked climatic vicissitudes.

R : Nevertheless, even allowing for this factor, one of the most remarkable discoveries about the climate change of the past is that the two poles of the Earth have been free of ice for at least 90 per cent of the known history of the planet.

S : We may find in close proximity to one another, coal deposits indicating the humid conditions of the tropics, red sandstones laid down in deserts and morainic materials reflecting polar conditions.
