Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. RPSQ.

  • According to the options, the paragraph can either start with R or P.
  • The paragraph cannot start with P as it contains 'this' which refers to some noun.
  • RP makes a logical pair as both R and P discuss the same idea and P follows R.
  • SQ also makes a logical pair as both S and Q discuss the same idea and Q follows S.
  • Option 4 fulfils the above conditions.
