• A. TQSPR
• B. RPSQT
• C. TSPQR
• D. SRTPQ

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

TQSPR

Option A is the correct answer.

The right order is TQSPR.

As the last sentence is given which is related to the butterfly flying away from the sight of the ant, R has to be the preceding statement.

So, to start with, T is first as a story starts with a given time,

Then Q because after sneering at the chrysalis, it spoke to the chrysalis.

Followed by S where the chrysalis doesn’t respond.

Then P where they describe the next incident after which the butterfly flies away( R).

Hence option A is the best suitable arrangement to form a story.

The other options make the story jumbled and confusing.
