Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

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

  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 sentence will start with Q as it is the first step for making a film.  After this action is done we need to go ahead that is to find a heroine for the film. 
  3. Statement R completes this action so it will come after R.
  4. Now we have the pair QR that is only in option 1.

Hence, the chosen option QRPS will be the correct.
