Correct Answer: QSPR


Solution :

The correct answer is option 1.

The mule began to run because he believed he was just like his mother.

Q then comes after 1 as a result. Following Q, S describes what happened after the mule began to run across the field.

Following S, P describes what the master did after observing the mule running and concluding that he was a skilled runner.

R summarises the main points and claims that the mule's collapse was caused by having to run faster. QSPR is the appropriate order as a result.

Read the following passage and answer the questions.

When Hughie came in, Trevor was giving finishing touches to a life-size picture of a beggar man. The beggar himself was standing on a raised platform in a corner of the studio. He was an old man with a wrinkled face and a most piteous expression. He was wearing a coarse cloak, all tears and tatters; his thick boots were patched and he held out his hat for alms.
“What an amazing model!” whispered Hughie. “How miserable he looks but for you heartless painters, his face is his fortune.”
“Certainly,” replied Trevor. “You don’t want a beggar to look happy, do you?’
After a while, a servant came in to announce that the frame maker wanted to see Trevor. The poor old beggar took advantage of Trevor’s absence and sat down on the wooden bench behind him. He looked so miserable that Hughie could not help pitying him. He searched his pockets but all he found was one pound. He thought the old man needed it more than him, even if it meant Hughie couldn’t afford a taxi for two weeks. He walked across to the beggar and slipped the pound into his hand.
The old man looked surprised and smiled faintly. “Thank you, sir,” he said, “thank you very much!’
Then Trevor arrived and Hughie took his leave. A week later they met at a club. Trevor told Hughie that the old model had asked all about him: who he was, where he lived, what his income was and what his plans were. Hughie was uneasy that the beggar would come calling at his place.
“Do you think he would care for some old clothes?” Hughie asked Trevor. “My dear boy, that old man you saw in the studio was Baron Hausberg, one of the richest men in Europe!” said Trevor, smiling. “He is a good friend of mine and buys all my pictures. He asked me to paint him as a beggar. What can I say about the wish of a millionaire?”

Question:
The expression on the model’s face was that of:

Option 1: misery

Option 2: scorn

Option 3: jealousy

Option 4: happiness
