Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1, i.e. PRSQ.
- Sentence P provides an introduction of the context, that is the advertisements on alcohol and tobacco.
- Sentence R shall follow because it adjoins details on alcohol and how such advertisements influence human psychology.
- Sentence S shall appear at third place as it adds extra information (sort of a twist in plot) for the given passage.
- Sentence Q will be the final statement because it provides a point (truth) about the dire consequences of such items even if the advertisements tend to normalize their consumption. This point can be treated as a conclusive one for the passage.
This arrangement follows a sequential manner, where the infromation/detail gets added without losing fluency or any sense/meaning in the narration.
