The correct answer is option 1 i.e. PSRQ.
- While arranging the parts of the sentence given in options, we have to find some grammatical or contextual connections between them-
- P follows sentence 1 as it mentions the phrase 'those words' which refers to what is mentioned in sentence 1- that people who like reading are called bookworms.
- Next is S as it says who all think that the sporting field is better i.e. boys who are good at sports.
- R follows S as it tells how this thinking, which is mentioned in S, is born.
- Last is Q as it gives the reason as to why these boys envy their peers who shine academically.
