The correct sequence should be

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

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Q-P-R-S

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.

Q is first in the sequence: The first line mentions a Gardener. Q starts describing this gardener, It says that the gardener is a short fellow.

Q is followed by P: P continues this description. It says that he has a little brown moustache.

P is followed by R: R further continues the description. It says that in addition to little brown moustache he has sharp little brown eyes.

R is followed by S: S tells us what the above described gardener did. It says that he tiptoed into the room

Finally, the corrected sentence is 'The gardener a short fellow with a little brown moustache and sharp little brown eyes tiptoed into the room'.

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