P Q R S
The correct sequence should be:

• A. S-P-R-Q
• B. P-R-Q-S
• C. R-Q-S-P
• D. P-R-S-Q

Answer 1

The correct option is A S-P-R-Q

The first statement in the sequence should be the one that best connects with the first line. It must be a continuation or extension of the first line.

S is first in the sequence: S best connects with the first line. Thus, the line becomes 'If you want peace'.

S is followed by P: P tells us what to do if one wants peace. It says that if you want peace you must arm yourself.

P is followed by R: R continues by telling us how we must arm ourselves. It says that you must arm yourself so that the enemy may think twice.

R is followed by Q: Q tells us what the enemy may think twice about. It says, so that enemy may think twice before starting a war.

Finally, the corrected sentence is 'If you want peace you must arm yourself so that the enemy may think twice before starting a war'.

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