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.
- Sentence Q is the last sentence in the sequence as it gives a conclusion.
