6. I will not tolerate this anymore.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. QSPR.

  • As the action of telling is about the Duties so Q will follow part 1 of the statement "Don't you know your duties?"
  • As there is a plural pronoun in part P we need to find the plural noun for it and need to place it before P.
  • As the plural noun is in part S we need to keep it before P.
  • Finally, R will be the last sentence.
  • Now the final arrangement is QSPR and it will be correct.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
