• A. SRQP
• B. SPQR
• C. PSQR
• D. SQRP
• E. QPSR

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To solve the question, we need to identify the most logical and coherent way to sequence the given parts of the sentence. Let's analyze each part:

1. S: The process of expansion must incorporate clean
2. P: Technology and design that would encourage
3. Q: Conservation and smart living in order to alleviate rather
4. R: Than aggravate problems associated with urban growth

The correct sequence is SPQR. Here's the logical flow and justification for this sequence:

1. S: begins with the main idea about the process of expansion incorporating clean... — this sets the stage for what the process should involve.
2. P: follows naturally by specifying what needs to be incorporated, i.e., clean technology and design.
3. Q: explains the purpose of incorporating such technology and design, focusing on conservation and smart living to alleviate issues.
4. R: concludes the sentence by contrasting the intended outcome (alleviation) with the negative scenario (aggravation) related to urban growth.

This sequence ensures that the components flow smoothly from introducing the subject, through elaboration, to explaining its purpose and expected impact.

Conclusion: Option SPQR provides a coherent and meaningful sentence structure, making it the correct answer.
