Arrange P, Q, R, S to give the correct sequence of the passage given below.
P: We should have won the Olympic gold in
1984. The beautiful and elegant Zafar carried the tricolour in the march-past, but missed the German goal, and we were out in the quarter finals. How he and Shahid must have wept the night away.
Q: He was the greatest. Tears roll down my cheeks, making patterns in memory of Mohammad Shahid - 'Jalebi' patterns, crisscrossing, feinting one way, going the other; likejalebis being made in the timeless taiyyaa of Shahid's hockey field.
R: Shahid and Zafar - left-in and left-out - at the 1982 World Cup in Bombay. My dearest friend Saini and I watching together as Shahid and Zafar wove patterns with ball and stick that would have done MF Husain proud, Mirza Ghalib proud, Shammi Kapoor proud. They did not play hockey. They painted, composed, danced hockey. That was Shahid's move the Jalebi - in and out, dart here, dart there, stick one way, ball the other... only to meet on the other side of a befuddled defender.
S: Mohammad Shahid was the Dilip Kumar of hockey, the tragic hero. Hockey changed, became a corporate game with planned moves and artificial surfaces and rigid fitness, and Shahid needed freedom and a canvas of in dividual colours. But he was the greatest, the last hockey hero. The last one, as if, with the blood of Dhyan Chand in his veins.

It was waiting to happen. There was going to be, at some time, something in the path of the game that has captivated the world.
There are quite a few critics of Pokemon Go, and they are not the folks without smartphones. Objection to the new augmented reality app is coming from people keen about the safety of children in the real world and in cyberspace. Swetha Muthanna says she is anxious about the impact of Pokemon Go on her 17-year-old's life. "I worry all the time; uppermost in my mind is physical safety, the kids are so absorbed by phone screens, walking on the road looking for Pokemons." Her son recently had a close shave when he walked on to a busy road, completely immersed in the game. Pokemon Go is supposed to be good for you as unlike other games that confine you to the couch, it gets you on your feet and makes you walk. While Pokemon Go in India has not yet been launched officially, teenagers have managed to circumvent this by downloading third party APKs, or bypassing the country-specific signup options for iOS. "Navigating the system and looking for clues? Ms. Muthanna says, "will land you up in all kinds of places, some of them may be isolated and not necessarily safe places." It is also something that concerns Avanti Nishant whose son Dhruv took up the game three weeks ago. "I have told him not to go anywhere without informing me. Also, I try and keep his phone with me on weekdays when I am at work and cannot monitor him," she says. Concerns such as these are not misplaced. Media reports from across the world have described children landing up in sex gadget shops or getting knocked down by speeding vehicles while playing the game. The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) in the United Kingdom has written an open letter to the MD of Nintendo U.K., one of the three promoters of the game, expressing concern over "Pokemon Go, which appears susceptible to being hijacked by users who wish to harm other players and as such raises fundamental child safety concerns." Pokemon Go uses a lot of data on the phone, apart from the GPS and camera to enable its version of reality to work. It also involves a gamer to cover distances on foot and go seek random spots in cities for Pokemons, Pokestops and gyms. Besides, there is the whole addiction factor that creeps in. It?s an addiction, and it is scary because it comes with other things being put on hold. My son used to love squash, would never miss practice, but he's putting that on hold," says Ms. Muthanna. Peter Wanless of the NSPCC, in his letter to Nintendo, warned how the game provides adults wishing to harm children an opportunity. "It is well documented that the Internet provides a gateway for adults who would wish to exploit and prey on children and apps without appropriate safety features inbuilt into the design help them in this.? Vidya Reddy of Tulir - Centre for Prevention and Healing Child Sexual Abuse said it was important to "ensure that some safety measures are taken to prevent the exploitation of children through the net." Which of the following is true regarding 'Pokemon Go'?
A)
It's a video game.
doneclear
B)
It's a reality app.
doneclear
C)
Its India version has been catching up the imagination of the teenagers fast.
