The correct answer is option 1 i.e. QSPR.

While arranging the parts of the sentence given in options, we have to find some grammatical or contextual connections between them, so let’s find out-

  • Q follows sentence 1 as it describes what the man thought at first after hearing the engine mentioned in sentence 1.
  • Next is S what he expected after he thought about it.
  • P follows S as it starts with 'instead' and is contrary to S.
  • Since P mentions 'above' so it must be followed by R as R mentions that he looked up.
