Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. RQSP.
- 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 P, Q and S contain a pronoun "she" first we need to find out the noun for that pronoun.
- In part R, there is a noun "my mother" for which "she" is used so we need to keep the part R at the first place of the arrangement.
- R and Q will come together because it completes the statement.
- Now we have the pair RQ that is only in the chosen option.
Hence the chosen option is correct.
