Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. SPRQ.
- The easiest way of solving a para jumble is to find the first sentence or to find a pair along with the elimination of the option.
- The part S starts with |"it" that represents "The northeastern region" used in the fixed part of the paragraph. A pronoun comes after the Noun so we need to keep the Part S after Part 1.
- Among the options, only the chosen option starts with S so it will be correct.
Hence, the correct arrangement will be SPRQ.
