-
- S P Q R
- Q R S P
- R P Q S
- Q P R S
Correct Option: B
On the basis of given paragraph , we follow sentence formation as :-
Q is the opening sentence, as it introduces the subject John F Kennedy, so we have to choose between (b) and (d). R will follow Q and S will follow R. All R, S and P talk about the speeches made by the noun subject, so we will move from the most general or broadest detail to the more specific so, from ‘a series of debits’ to ‘the campaign’ to ‘first inaugural address’, so the correct sequence is Q R S P .
