Option A

RSPQ

RSPQ

Solution :

To arrange the jumbled sentences into a logical and coherent paragraph, we can analyze the relationships and transition cues between them:


1. Identify the opening sentence: Sentence R ("Meera often spoke about the climate crisis.") introduces the main subject (Meera) and the primary topic of discussion (the climate crisis). This makes it the ideal starting sentence to set the context.


2. Establish the connection: Sentence S ("She urged people to act before it was too late.") begins with the pronoun "She", which directly refers back to "Meera" in sentence R. It describes what Meera did regarding the climate crisis. Therefore, S logically follows R (R → S).


3. Trace the reaction: Sentence P ("But few paid attention to her warnings.") introduces a contrast using the conjunction "But". This contrasts Meera's urging (in sentence S) with the lack of response from the people she urged. "Her warnings" also refers to Meera's statements in S. Thus, P logically follows S (S → P).


4. Find the conclusion: Sentence Q ("Years later, her predictions proved to be true.") provides a resolution or outcome that happens "years later," confirming that the warnings mentioned in P were correct. This is the natural concluding sentence of the narrative.


Combining these connections, we get the sequence: R → S → P → Q.


Therefore, the correct order is RSPQ.
