Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. RPSQ.
- As the given paragraph is a talk between to person we need to just arrange it.
- As he sat near his wife, "he asked" seems to be following it so it will come after it.
- As part P contains "answer" it will come after R.
- Part S says "he continued" so it will come after P.
- Q will come at the last of the statement.
- Now the final arrangement is RPSQ so it will be correct.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
