The correct answer is option 2, i.e. PSQR.
From P, it is clear that it is the introductory sentence as it is independent of any other sentence and introduces the central idea. S follows P as it gives more information about the central character. ‘Q and R’ is a mandatory pair as R completes Q.
Hence we can conclude that the correct structuring is PSQR and can be read as -
