Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Q P S 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.

Q is first in the sequence: Q starts a discussion on the two most prevalent organizational dynamics today. They are participation and change.

Q is followed by P: P branches the topic introduced by Q. It says that organisations are filling up with quality workers.

P is followed by S: S directly continues P's point. It says that these workers bring with them certain demands. Demands for participation.

S is followed by R: R directly continues the point made by S. It tells us how these demands for participation create the necessity for change. Thus, R provides a conclusion to the main topic introduced by Q.

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