Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

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

  • According to the options, the paragraph cannot start with P.
  • The paragraph can also not start with Q as it starts with 'but'. 'But' shows contradiction to the previous sentence.
  • The paragraph can also not start with R as it starts with a pronoun 'it'. Also, it contains 'also' which gives additional information to a previous statement.
  • Therefore, the paragraph must start with S and only option 4 starts with S.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
