• A. PQ
• B. QR
• C. PR
• D. RQ

Answer 1

The correct option is A PQ

Sentence R does not make much sense in the context of S1 and S4. P and Q (in this order) provide more coherence and meaning in the given context and perfectly link S1 and S4:

S1. In December 2002, a group of Indian scientists appealed to UNESCO to declare the Lonar crater as a heritage site. [P] Lonar is a village about 800 kms from Mumbai in Maharashtra.
[Q] It is like any other village in India, except that 50,000 years ago a huge meteorite fell there. S4. The result is that it now has a huge crater, one of the largest in the world.

A is the correct answer.
