Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3, i.e. PQRS.
- Sentence P introduces readers to the context of the passage, which is about the behaviour of people during conventional times.
- Sentence Q adds more information by talking about the specific programmes available on television. This also highlights the timeline of the passage's narrative.
- Sentence R again talks about the people. As an addition of information it shall appear as the third statement.
- Sentence S concludes with the addition of information that is a bit different from what was going on previously. It talks about how modern day TV has stormed the world of media and entertainment.
This arrangement follows a sequential narrative, where information gets added without losing any sense/meaning and fluency of narration as the passage progresses ahead.
