Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. RPSQ.
- 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 R will be the first statement of the arrangement as it contains the word "farm' that is previously used in the fixed sentence.
- When he was a little boy, he lived on a farm in the country. It was his grandfather's vegetable farm.
- P will be the next statement as it completes the meaning of the previous statement.
- Now we have the pair RP that is only in the chosen option.
Hence, the chosen arrangement will be correct "RPSQ".
