Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. QPSR.

1. The sentence can neither start with P nor with S because P contains 'those' and S starts with 'however'.

2. 'Those' in P must have been mentioned in one of the sentences. moreover, a paragraph does not start with 'however' as it shows contradiction to a mentioned sentence.

3. The sentence must start with Q as no other option is left.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
