The correct answer is option 1 i.e. RPSQ.

While arranging the parts of the sentence given in options, we have to find some grammatical or contextual connections between them, so let’s find out-

  • Sentence 1 gives the introduction of the subject and describes the situation. It is followed by R as all other sentences are replies of a particular question.
  • Next is P as it gives the reply to the question asked in R.
  • S follows P as he continued after the reply.
  • The most suitable answer to the question in S is Q.


Sentences after rearrangement-

One evening he lit a large lamp in the bedroom and sat near his wife. 'Shall I read you something?', he asked. 'Why not?', was the answer. 'What shall I read?', he continued.  'Whatever you like.' He was somewhat taken aback by her answer.
