    Question

    Directions : In the question given below, a set of sentences is given, which when properly sequenced, form a coherent paragraph. Arrange the sentences in the correct sequence, and answer the questions. P. In binary plants, the hot water is passed by a secondary fluid with a much lower boiling point than water, and this causes the secondary fluid to turn to vapor, which then drives a turbine. Q. The steam that results from this process is used to drive the turbine. R. There are three types of geothermal power plants: dry steam, flash, and binary. S. Dry steam, the oldest geothermal technology, takes the steam out of fractures in the ground and uses it to drive a turbine directly. T. Flash plants pull deep, high-pressure hot water into cooler, low-pressure water.

    Which of the following would be the FOURTH statement

    after rearrangement?
    A Q Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B P Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C R Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D S Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E T Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The correct rearrangement is ‘RSTQP’. ‘R’ introduces the subject of the paragraph which is the types of geothermal power plants. Other sentences elucidate the types of geothermal power plants. In ‘R’, the first type of geothermal power plants is mentioned as ‘dry steam’. ‘S’ provides information about the ‘Dry steam’. So, ‘S’ should be the second sentence. ‘T’ provides information about the ‘Flash plants’ which is mentioned at second place in ‘R’. So, ‘T’ should be the third sentence of the paragraph. ‘Q’ takes the idea introduced at ‘T’ forward. ‘Q’ informs us about what the steam, which is produced in ‘T’, do. So, ‘Q’ should be the fourth sentence of the paragraph. ‘P’ provides information about ‘binary plants’ which is mentioned at third in ‘R’ as the type of geothermal power plant. So, ‘P’ should be the Fifth sentence of the paragraph.
