Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. QPSR.
- As part Q continues part 1 it will be the first sentence "Marine biology is the study of organisms in the ocean. Marine life is a vast resource."
- Part P tells about the specification of the Marine life so it will follow Q.
- Again S tells further about it so it will come after P.
- Finally, R will be the last sentence "Shorelines are also shaped and protected by marine life."
- Now we have the construction QPSR so it will be correct.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
