Answer 1

The correct option is B QSPR

The passage starts off with giving information that Abraham Lincoln as the manager of the shop. The point to remember in this is that Abraham Lincoln is not the main part of the story, but he being the manager of the shop. So the next line should deal with not Lincoln, but the shop and his managerial duties. This is given in sentence Q. We are now talking about how Lincolns way is different. Why is this different? This is answered in S. In sentence R it is given that he would jump upon to perform an action. The action is mentioned in P. So PR makes a mandatory pair. So option (b) is the answer.
