The correct answer is option 1 i.e. PSRQ

The first line of the passage must be the one which introduces the theme of the paragraph. Out of all the sentences, sentence P is the starting line as it introduces the subject of the passage i.e. ‘Discrepancy between verbal and writing ability’.

Since the sentence P states the inconsistency between verbal and writing ability of learners, the next sentence should talk about what the deviation is. Sentence S tells that the disparity is because some learners could never spell the words which they have in their minds. Hence, S is the second sentence.

Sentence R should be the third sentence as it talks about the importance of correct spelling in the school.

Finally, Q should be the concluding statement as it conveys that due to giving more importance to correct spelling in school, many learners do not write what they have in their minds.
