The correct sequence should be

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

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Q-P-S-R

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: Q best connects with the first line. Thus, the line becomes ' Medical practice has changed so radically'.

Q is followed by P: P tells us when the medical practice has changed. It says that the medical practice has changed radically in the recent years.

P is followed by S: S tells us the consequences of this change. It says that it has changed so much in recent years that you can no longer find a good general practitioner.

S is followed by R: R adds to S' point. It says that you cannot find a general practitioner, you can only get specialists in a variety of fields.

Finally, the corrected sentence is 'Medical practice has changed so radically in recent years that you can no longer find a good general practitioner, you only get specialists in a variety of fields'.

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