Answer 1

Answer: (C)

S P R Q

Option C is the correct sequence as it makes the sentence complete, logical and grammatically incorrect. This sequence successfully indicates what happened to the people on board as the ship sailed from San Diego. 'As the ship streams from San Diego those of us aboard have a personal demonstration of powerful ocean movement as walls of grey water from a distant storm in the North Pacific rock and toss the ship making the greener among us miserable with sea sickness' is the correct order of the sentence.

Options A, B and D are incorrect because these sequences are grammatically incorrect and make no logical sense.
