The correct answer is option 1 i.e. QPRS.
- While arranging the parts of the sentence given in options, we have to find some grammatical or contextual connections between them-
- Q follows sentence 1 as it tells what the husbands used to think about household work.
- Next is P as it starts with 'such duties' which refers to the duties mentioned in Q.
- After that is R as it mentions how a normal school boy never saw the need to help with household chores.
- S is the logical successor of R.
