The correct answer is option 2.
Sentence 1- The first sentence always introduces the subject matter of the paragraph to the reader. Sentence P initiates the discussion by telling us what Cape Horn is. Therefore, it is the first sentence.
Sentence 2- Sentence R is a continuation of the first sentence where it tells the reader why is Cape Horn the southernmost point of South America. It is because the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans meet there.
Sentence 3- The second sentence also tells us that Cape Horn has some of the roughest sea conditions on Earth which leads us to the next sentence i.e, Q. It tells us how challenging it becomes for the ships to sail at Cape Horn.
Sentence 4- The final sentence i.e, S introduces us to The Scotia Sea and hence maintains the correct sequence.
