Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. SQPR.

Logical flow:

  • S: Introduces the condition — "If a product placement appears at the climax, the moment when"

  • Q: Explains what happens at the climax — "our attention is fixated on what will happen next,"

  • P: Describes the likely effect — "we are either less likely to notice the placement"

  • R: Adds the contrasting possibility — "or more likely to be annoyed by it if we do notice it."

Final sentence: If a product placement appears at the climax, the moment when our attention is fixated on what will happen next, we are either less likely to notice the placement or more likely to be annoyed by it if we do notice it.

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
