Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. RPSQ.

  • As "this saying" is being used for "FIrst Deserve and the Desire" we need to keep part R after 1.
  • Statement P will word as the example of the saying so it will come after R.
  • SQ will come together because both are correlated to each other.
  • Now we have the final arrangement RPSQ so it will be correct.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
