Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e., RPSQ.
- Sentence R is the introductory sentence as it gives an introduction to the paragraph which is about reading.
- Sentence P speaks about reading being an essential skill and hence supports the first sentence. Therefore, it is the second sentence.
- Sentence S elaborates about the uses of reading and sentence Q states about the condition of reading in modern times. Hence, sentence Q depends on sentence S making S the third sentence and Q the last sentence.
