Key Points
  • The paragraph begins with the speaker being very tired and falling asleep, indicating a sequence of events that lead to the final sentence.
  • Sentence Q is the first in the sequence after S-1 because it introduces the slight noise that disturbs the speaker's sleep:
    • "All of a sudden, a slight noise disturbed my sleep."
  • Sentence P follows as it logically continues from the disturbance with the speaker thinking they heard somebody moving outside:
    • "I thought I heard somebody move outside."
  • Sentence R is next because it describes the speaker’s action of getting out of bed and peeping out of the window:
    • "I got out of bed quietly and peeped out of the window."
  • Sentence S follows as it conveys the speaker’s emotion of being frightened, which leads to the realization in the final sentence:
    • "I was frightened."
  • The proper sequence is QPRS.
Coherent passage after rearrangement:
"Last night I was very tired and dropped off to sleep. All of a sudden, a slight noise disturbed my sleep. I thought I heard somebody move outside. I got out of bed quietly and peeped out of the window. I was frightened. A goat was chewing up my rose plants."
