Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. SQPR.
- 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 statement S will be the first sentence because it tells about the reason for not sleeping well in the train.
- "There were too many people and too much luggage all around." as there was too much luggage all around he was not about to sleep.
- And we have only one option starting with S so, this will be the correct answer.
Hence, the correct arrangement will be SQPR.
