Answer 1

Answer: (D)

S Q P R

The first statement in the sequence should be the one that introduces a new topic. It should not be a continuation or extension of a topic.

S is first in the sequence: It starts by introducing a misconception involving Aryans. It says that till recently they were considered as the first invaders of the land.

S is followed by Q: Q continues to explain the misconception mentioned in S. It says that Aryans came to an uncivilized country.

Q is followed by P: P starts to tell the truth about the misconception. It says that there were invaders before the Aryans. The word 'however' indicates that Q is being discussed after S and P.

P is followed by R: R directly follows Q. It tells us about the invaders that came before the Aryans.

Thus, the correct sequence is S Q P R. Hence, D is the correct option.
