Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. SQPR.
- 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.
- Part S will be the first statement of this arrangement as it completes the fixed sentence.
- Rohit went to the airport to see off his friend. The friend appeared worried and anxious about something. Bold part shows the link between the sentences.
- Now Q will come as the Rohit asked the reason for being worried.
- Now we have the pair SQ that is only in option 4.
Hence, the arrangement SQPR will be the correct answer.
