Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. QPSR.
- As the part, Q starts with "but" we need to keep this statement after part 1 because it is being used to contradict part 1.
- As Part S is the result of P we need to keep S after P.
- The conclusive sentence will be R.
- Now the final arrangement will be QPSR so it will be correct.
Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
