Explanation:The correct answer is option 1) i.e. QPSR
- 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.
A conjunction is a joining word used to join sentences or phrases, and usually used in the middle of a sentence.
For example-
“Ana made the emergency call and prayed for the ambulance to reach her on time.”
“Samuel ran fast, but he missed the last train of the day to Houston.”
- Parts ‘P’ and ‘S’ start with conjunctions ‘and’, ‘but’ respectively, so we can say that the sentences will not start with P and S.
- Part R starts with a pronoun ‘they’ which means there must be some noun for which ‘they’ is used here. So, it cannot be the first sentence.
- Hence, we can say that the sentence will start with Q and will be followed by P for it describes more about the first part. Now, S will come after P for the conjunction ‘but’ states the contrast in the situation contextually and at last R comes as the pronoun ‘they’ is used to refer to the people mentioned in S.
- Thus, the correct order is QPSR.
Correct Sentence: “Social distancing norms is the “new normal” and it has the world spending more time indoors than ever, but a new survey revealed that 94 percent of people report they are happier and healthier when they spend time outdoors.”
