Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To solve this jumbled sentence question, we must arrange the parts of the sentence in a coherent sequence. Let us examine each part:

• P: Are canned and almost all the rest are frozen
• Q: They contain lots of dietary fibre and protein
• R: But, most importantly, they taste of the freshness of winter
• S: More than half the peas sold in the world

Step 1: Begin identifying the logical starting point. The phrase in 'S' introduces the subject of the sentence - "More than half the peas sold in the world." This suggests 'S' is a suitable opening statement, as it introduces the topic.

Step 2: Now, we follow with a sentence that logically extends the information introduced in 'S'. 'P' follows naturally from 'S', "More than half the peas sold in the world are canned and almost all the rest are frozen." Hence, 'P' expands on what happens to the peas. Therefore, 'P' comes after 'S'.

Step 3: We now look at the remaining parts. 'Q' mentions the nutritional content, "They contain lots of dietary fibre and protein," which directly describes qualities of peas, so it logically follows 'P'.

Step 4: Finally, 'R' provides an additional, subjective opinion about the peas - their taste, which concludes the descriptive sentence. "But, most importantly, they taste of the freshness of winter."

Following these logical connections, the coherent sequence of sentences is SPQR.

Step 5: Confirm no other sequences would provide a better logical flow. We can see that starting sentences with descriptions or opinions before introducing the subject would not provide clarity.

Thus, the correct arrangement for a meaningful and coherent passage is SPQR.
