Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. QSPR.

  • As in the statement Q "it" is being used for "my hobby" we need to keep this part after 1.
  • Now S will come as it shows the benefit of being updated with the news "It keeps me updated and helps me in my profession."
  • Part P is suitable to keep as it talks about the result of the previous action "It has made me a much sought after speaker."
  • Now part R will come at the end of the paragraph.
  • Now we have to final arrangement QSPR so it will be correct.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
