Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4, i.e. RQPS.
- Sentence R provides the very first step of the recipe, that is to heat butter in a pan.
- Sentence Q follows up next because it talks about what to do after the butter gets heated, that is to add flour (maida).
- Sentence P adds more details about what to do with the mixture of butter and maida, hence will appear at next place.
- Sentence S tells us what to add to the whole mixture that we talked about in the previous sentences. So, it shall follow as the next step and the next sentence.
This sequence follows a sequential manner where the various steps, information or details are added without losing the fluency of narration and the context/meaning of the passage.
