It was well designed and carefully maintained. It carried the proper number of lifeboats.  Q.

Yet hours later, the Estonia rolled over and sank in a cold, stormy night. S. It had been thoroughly inspected the day of its fatal voyage Correct Answer <p>QPSR</p>

The correct answer is option 3.

Sentence 1- The first sentence should always introduce the subject matter of the paragraph to the reader. Similarly, sentence Q introduces the subject matter of the paragraph. It talks about the sinking ferry, Estonia despite the naval architects claim that a ship is unsinkable. 

Sentence 2- Sentence P is a continuation of the first sentence therefore, in the next it explains why the sinking of Estonia was shocking. It was a well-designed ship with many lifeboats.

Sentence 3- The next sentence i.e, S further explains that the sinking was not expected since there was a thorough inspection of the ship on the day of the accident.

Sentence 4- The last sentence should conclude the paragraph by connecting it to the first sentence. Therefore, Sentence R is a perfect fit here with the use of the word 'yet' and is successful at proving the point.
