Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

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

  1. 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.
  2. The statement will not start with P as it contains the pronoun that comes after the noun so first, we need to find out the Noun.
  3. As the part R contains the Noun it will be the first sentence.
  4. R will be followed by P as it completes the statement.
  5. Now we have the arrangement RP that is only in the chosen option.

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
