The correct answer is option 2 i.e. SPQR.
- While arranging the parts of the passage, we have to find some grammatical or contextual connections between them-
- S follows sentence 1 as it tells what Galileo was doing when he was 20.
- Next is P as it tells about his favourite subject.
- After that is Q as it tells what happened because of his interest in maths.
- Last is R as it uses 'this' which refers to the court mathematician offering to tutor Galileo.
Correct order- Galileo Galilei was born in the year 1564 in the town of Pisa, Italy. When he was 20 years old, he was studying in Pisa. Galileo was bored with school except for math. Because math was the one subject where he was doing well, the court mathematician offered to tutor him privately. This was done so he could become a qualified mathematician. Galileo’s father was disappointed, but he agreed.
