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

Answer 1

The correct option is A P S R Q

Option A is the correct sequence as it makes the sentence complete, logical and grammatically incorrect.

'Even a leisurely game like cricket, demanding grace rather than strength, can cause much ill-will as we saw in the controversy over body-line bowling and over the rough tactics of the Australian team that visited England in 1921' is the correct order of the sentence. Body-line bowling was a technique that demanded more strength and accuracy rather than grace.

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