Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. RPSQ.
- 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 fixed sentence will be followed by R as it completes the statement.
- It was 7 o'clock in the morning. Shardul was waiting for his school bus.
- P will come after R as the action performed in the statement P is as same as R.
- Now we have the arrangement RP that is only in the chosen option.
Hence, the correct arrangement will be RPQS.
