Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. RQSP.

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.

After boarding a bus first action happens of taking a seat that is done in the statement R.

I boarded a bus from Tilak Nagar to the Railway Station. I was very happy to occupy a seat as I was sure that my journey will be comfortable.

We have only option starting with R so it will be correct.

Hence, the chosen option  RQSP will be correct.
