Re-order the following sentences into a meaningful paragraph :

(P) But really there is no person who has got some good and some bad qualities.

(Q) Everybody wants to think well of himself and his country.

(R) And try to remove the bad wherever it may be.

(S) We must take the good wherever we find it.

The correct answer is 'QPSR '.

Key Points

• The sentences are discussing the human nature of perceiving oneself and the ideal approach towards self-improvement.
  • (Q) "Everybody wants to think well of himself and his country." - This sentence introduces the topic, explaining a common human tendency to perceive oneself and their affiliations (like their country) in a positive light.
  • (P) "But really there is no person who has got some good and some bad qualities." - This sentence introduces the concept that everyone has a mix of good and bad qualities. This is a counterpoint to the first sentence, which discussed the tendency to only think well of oneself. It's likely a typographical error and should probably read "But really there is no person who has not got some good and some bad qualities."
  • (S) "We must take the good wherever we find it," - This sentence introduces a positive approach towards self-improvement, suggesting that we should embrace the good qualities wherever we find them in ourselves.
  • (R) "And try to remove the bad wherever it may be" - This sentence concludes the thought by adding that in addition to embracing the good, we should also strive to recognize and remove our bad qualities for self-improvement.

So, putting these sentences together in the order of QPSR creates a coherent and logically structured paragraph. It introduces the topic, provides a counterpoint, and then gives a constructive approach towards personal development.
