Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. SRQP.

  • As the statement, S tells about the people living in the village it will come after 1.
  • R will come after S as it is the next action done after his reaching to the village.
  • As the part Q is the result of the part R it will come after part R.
  • And part P will be the last sentence.
  • Now we have the final arrangement SRQP so it will be correct.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
