Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. QSPR.
- As part Q tells about the past incident we need to keep it first.
- Statement S continues to tell about the part Q so it will come after Q.
- Part P further tells about the same situation so it will continue to come.
- Now the part R will be the last sentence.
- The final arrangement will be QSPR so it will be correct.
Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
