Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. QSPR.
- 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.
- The part Q explains the first sentence of the paragraph that how the telephone is tyrannical for us.
- SO, it will be in the first place in the arrangement.
- After S part P will come as there is an explanation of work in part P (watching television, reading a book, or doing some gardening.)
- Now we have the arrangement QSPR that is the correct arrangement.
Hence, it will be the correct answer.
