Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. QSPR.
- According to the options, the paragraph either starts with R or Q.
- The paragraph cannot start with R as it starts with 'but' which gives a contradiction to the earlier sentence.
- QS makes a logical pair as they talk about the importance of girls.
- PR also makes a logical pair as they talk about the right and empowerment of women.
- Only option 3 fulfils the above conditions.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
