In the following question, the 1st and the last part of the sentence/passage are numbered 1 and 6. The rest of the sentence/ passage is split into four parts and named P, Q, R and S. These four parts are not given in their proper order. Read the sentence/passage and find out which of the four combinations is correct. 1. Memos first appeared in the workplace in the late nineteenth century and became commonplace by the 1920s. P. The word memo is a shorter form of memorandum. Q. Memos were meant for internal use. R. It's latin origin translates to 'something to be noted' or 'something to be recalled.' S. So they were shorter, informal messages, and the use of jargon was acceptable. 6. They were used to request specific information from colleagues, respond to previous questions, share new information etc. Correct Answer PRQS The correct answer is option 3 i.e. PRQS. While arranging the parts of the passage, we have to find some grammatical or contextual connections between them- P follows sentence 1 as it gives information about the word 'memo'. Next is R as it further elaborates on the word's origin and meaning. After that is Q as it mentions its use. Last is S as it starts with 'so' which means that since they were meant for internal use, memos were shorter and informal. Correct order- Memos first appeared in the workplace in the late nineteenth century and became commonplace by the 1920s. It's latin origin translates to 'something to be noted' or 'something to be recalled.' Memos were meant for internal use. So they were shorter, informal messages, and the use of jargon was acceptable. They were used to request specific information from colleagues, respond to previous questions, share new information etc.
