• A. PQR
• B. RQP
• C. PRQ
• D. QRP

Answer 1

The correct option is C PRQ

While S1 introduces the main idea, Sentence P takes it forward in the most coherent way possible.The sentence P states what we have to do in order to settle the population explosion stated in S1. Hence, it fits with S1. Sentence R tells us the consequence of the action suggested in P and sentence Q continues with the idea mentioned in R. Thus Q is logically linked with R and S5, which suggests the solution to the problem introduced by S1.
