Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. QPRS.

  • As part S works as a complement to statement 1, thus, it will come after 1.
  • In part S there is a possessive pronoun "their" that is used for "they" that is in part R so we need to keep S after R.
  • As "they" is used for "younger generation" we need to keep part containing "younger generation" before R.
  • Now we have the final arrangement QPRS so it will be correct.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
