R. Most of the eggs die and only a few of them develop into fishes.
S. She simply leaves the eggs and never comes back to them.
6. Is this not something terrible? Yet, it is a fact.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. QPSR.
- Part Q acts as a complement of part 1 as it explains the situation of the eggs "They lay thousands of eggs at a time but do not look after them".
- R will come after P, as R is the result of the reason explained in part P.
- Now the S is the concluding part so it will come at the last of the statement "She simply leaves the eggs and never comes back to them."
- Now we have the arrangement QPSR that is in option 1.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
