The correct answer is option 4 i.e. RQPS.
- While arranging the parts of the passage, we have to find some grammatical or contextual connections between them-
- R follows sentence 1 as it mentions the diet of the coyote which is similar to that of its relatives(mentioned in sentence 1).
- Next is Q as it further describes its diet. The word 'however' is used to give a dissimilarity between the diets.
- After that is P as it mentions how coyotes live, which again is a similarity between coyotes and its relatives.
- Last is S as it gives another dissimilarity between coyotes and wolves, with respect to pack size.
Correct order- The coyote is a relative of the dog, wolf and jackal. Like its relatives, it is a predator and mostly eats other mammals. It will, however, eat a wide variety of foods, including insects, fruits and vegetables. Like the wolf, coyotes live in groups, or packs. The pack is usually smaller in number than a wolf pack. All members of the pack are usually related.
