Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option C i.e. RPQS.
- The fixed statement is an instruction to the students and after this, it was said to open the books so statement R will come and it will be the first statement.
- Statement P completes the meaning of the statement R so it will come after R.
- QS will come together as both are the serial actions.
Now we have the arrangement "RPQS".
Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
