Q provides an example to support the claim. It says that 'u' has different pronunciation in 'but', 'put', 'build' and 'bury'. Q is followed by S: S infers from Q. It says that from the above example we can conclude that the same letters give different sounds in different words.S is followed by P: P further adds a point. It says that words are spelled in one way and pronounced in another.P is followed by R: R makes a claim from P. It says, considering the above point, we can say that the English language is notoriously un-phonetic.Thus, the correct sequence is Q S P R. Hence, B is the correct option.
