R. Wholesale price-based inflation has already touched over a three-year high.
S. The government has admitted that containing inflation would be a more difficult task.
6. This may hurt economic growth and reforms.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. PRSQ.
- As the part P tells about the progress of rising price in the last weeks it will follow 1.
- As the part R explains the reason behind the high price it will come after P.
- Now the part S will come as it tells about the coming effect of the inflation so it will come after the statement containing the word "inflation" means part R.
- The final statement will be Q that will come at the end of the paragraph.
- Now the final arrangement will be PRSQ so it will be correct.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
