Option 4 : RPSQ

The correct answer is option 4) i.e. RPSQ.

  • 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 coordinating conjunction like ‘and’ is used to connect clauses which are not in contrast to each other and so usually, it comes in the middle of the sentence, e.g. " For dinner I can eat the chicken and the fish."
    • Parts 'P' and 'Q' start with the conjunction 'and', so we can say that the sentence will not start with P and Q.
  • 'Which' is used referring to something previously mentioned when introducing a clause giving further information.
    • Part S starts with 'which', so it can also not be the first part.
  • Hence, we can say that the sentence will start with 'R' and will be followed by 'P' as part R talks about ‘publishing something’ and part P states what is being published (manifestos).
  • Part S, where the pronoun ‘which’ indicates the ‘manifestos’ comes after part P and is followed by part Q.
  • Thus, the correct order is RPSQ.
Correct sentence: " Political parties ritualistically publish and release election manifestos with great fanfare, which are never seriously taken and acted upon by leaders or by voters.
