Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. QRSP.
- According to the options, the paragraph cannot start with P as none of the options start with P.
- The paragraph also cannot start with S as it starts with the pronoun 'they'.
- The paragraph also cannot start with R as it contains the pronoun 'this'.
- So, the sentence must start with Q.
- P should be the last sentence as it contains 'as a result' which shows a conclusion.
- Option 3 fulfils the above condition and makes a coherent paragraph.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
