The correct answer is option 4 i.e. RQSP.

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 tells that the speaker boarded a bus. R follows sentence 1 as it tells about the seat occupied by the speaker.
  • Next is Q as the conductor came after the speaker sat in the bus.
  • S starts with 'he' which refers to the conductor mentioned in Q. Hence, S follows Q.
  • Last is P as it tells what the speaker felt when she came to know that she was in the wrong bus.


Sentences after rearrangement-
