Correct Answer RSQP

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. RSQP.

  •  While arranging the parts of the sentence given in options, we have to find some grammatical or contextual connections between them-
    • R follows sentence 1 as it tells what Gandhiji remarked while they were talking.
    • Next should be S as it starts with 'and' which connects S with R and mentions that he narrated an incident to prove his point.
    • Q follows S as it gives the introduction of the story Gandhiji told.
    • Next is P as it describes what happened when the woman saw the snake.
