Answer 1

Answer: (E)

To determine the correct sequence of the jumbled parts of the sentence, we need to connect the logical flow and identify the relationships between the parts.

1. First Statement (P): "The most authentic aspect of the Indian democratic system is that it is based on a highly credible electoral process."
   This statement introduces the topic of the credibility of the Indian democratic system's electoral process.
2. Follow-up (S): "Which has ensured that political power remains in the hands of elected representatives of the people."
   The term "which" refers back to the credible electoral process mentioned in P, making S directly follow P. It explains the outcome of the credible electoral process.
3. Next (Q): "This has allowed millions of Indians to feel empowered and in control of their own destinies."
   The pronoun "this" in Q refers to the situation depicted in S, where political power remains with elected representatives.
4. Final Statement (R): "Most Indians, regardless of their economic status, retain faith in the electoral system and believe that politicians and parties are ultimately accountable to them."
   R follows Q as it emphasizes the faith and trust in the system that empowers people, thus concluding the logic reflected in the preceding segments.

Based on the above logic, the coherent and meaningful order of the statements is: PSQR.

Hence, the correct option is PSQR.

This sequence logically binds each statement into a coherent discussion about the credibility and impact of the electoral process in Indian democracy.
