Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. RQSP.
- The best way of solving "para jumble" is to find a pair or starting statement.
- The statement will not start with "P" as it starts with "today" which shows a present time and we need to show a sequence of time here so we can't use it as the first statement.
- As the "settlers" are looking for gold first they need to travel for that.
- The statement R is talking about the "travel history" so it will be the first statement.
- According to the option we have only the chosen option starting with R.
Hence, the chosen option will be the correct one.
