Correct Answer QSRP
The correct answer is 'QSRP'.
Key Points
- While arranging the parts of the passage, we should find some grammatical or contextual connections between them-
- Q follows sentence 1 as it starts with 'which' that is referring to the speech (I Have a Dream) that was given by Martin Luther King Jr.
- S follows sentence Q as it giving more information about the speech that was delivered on August 28, 1963, by Martin.
- Sentences R and P form a pair. Sentence R is talking about how famous the speech had become and it is continued by the sentence P using the connector 'and'.
