Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. PRSQ.

  1. According to the options, the paragraph cannot start with S as none of the options start with S.
  2. The paragraph also cannot start with Q as it starts with 'though' which shows contradiction to a previous statement.
  3. The paragraph also does not seem to start with R as the usage of 'the value' is not clear.
  4. Option 1 makes a coherent paragraph.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
