- Q S P R
- S R P Q
- S Q R P
- S P R Q
Correct Option: D
On arranging the correct paragraph formation as :-
S is the opening sentence, since it introduces the narrative. P will follow S, as it tells the chronology of the event. That is, what happened next. This will be followed by R, since R begins with the reflective pronoun, that indicates the action that happened in P. Thus, the right sequence is SPRQ.
