Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. QPSR.
The subject of the sentence must come first. Among all the given fragments, Q is a complete subject-verb phrase, making it the best opening sentence.
The temple is the subject, and "has always enjoyed" is the verb phrase, so we need an object to complete the meaning. P perfectly fits as the object of enjoyment.
The next fragment S provides a time and location context because it extends the explanation, telling us that this popularity is widespread and has existed for a long time.
R supports the claim by providing evidence. This phrase connects well because it explains how the popularity is reflected.
Final order: Q → P → S → R
Correct sentence: The Lotus Temple has always enjoyed an unparalleled popularity throughout the length and breadth of India from the earliest times down to the present day, as shown by its pre-dominance in literature and art.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
