Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2, i.e. RPSQ.
- Sentence R introduces the passage with the talk about corruption within institutions.
- Sentence P follows up next as it presents the theme of the passage, 'liberalisation'. It moves the narrative ahead, which is why it shall follow as the second statement.
- Sentence S adds more information to liberalisation, hence will follow as the next statement.
- Sentence Q will conclude at the end because it talks about how liberalisation influences certain actors and the economy as a whole.
This arrangement provides a sequential order of narration. The various sorts of information gets added without making the passage lose it's sense/meaning as it progresses.
