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

Answer 1

The correct option is B Q S P R

The first statement in the sequence should be the one that best connects with S1. It should be a continuation or extension of S1.

Q is first in the sequence: S1 says that our behaviour and attitudes are determined by our upbringing. Q starts to explain the point made by S1. It says that they are determined in particular by the effects of our family.

Q is followed by S: S further adds to Q. It says that our family and early life have profound effect on our later life.

S is followed by P: P continues by saying that the process does not stop there.

P is followed by R: R introduces an additional point through P's support. It says that as we grow we are constantly affected by new forces. S6 continues by saying that Psychologists have studied these forces in depth.

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