Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e., SRPQ.

 

  • Sentence S is the first sentence as it is an independent sentence and introduces the topic of the paragraph. 
  • Sentence R is about the government quick step in accepting the positive remark and sentence P the completely opposite part. Therefore, R is the second sentence, and P is the third sentence.
