Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. PRQS.
The sentence, that has the topic of the passage, should come first.
Sentence P introduces the topic “benefits of flexible working”. The rest of the sentences are related to this topic.
Also, R will come after P because "this overwhelming evidence" refers to the research mentioned in P.
Hence, option 2 is the correct answer as only this option has PR in the initial position.
