Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The problem presents a jumbled sentence or passage and requires us to arrange the fragments in an order that forms a coherent statement. Let's analyze each fragment:

• P: Norms follows in a long series of steps to ensure transparency
• Q: Laws and practices in terms of their consistency with human rights
• R: And accountability of multi-national corporations
• S: The United Nations initiative to evaluate national corporate

We need to determine the logical sequence. Let's explore the possibilities:

1. Starting Fragment: The sentence begins with 'S' because it introduces an entity, "The United Nations initiative," which naturally sets the context for the discussion.
2. Second Fragment: 'Q' follows 'S' as it specifies what the United Nations initiative evaluates: "Laws and practices in terms of their consistency with human rights."
3. Third Fragment: 'P' specifies how this evaluation takes place with "Norms follows in a long series of steps to ensure transparency," which logically follows 'Q.'
4. Final Fragment: 'R' concludes the thought by linking the evaluation to the outcome, "And accountability of multi-national corporations," wrapping up the sentence meaningfully.

By following this logical progression, the correct sequence of words is "SQPR." This shows the flow from setting the context with the United Nations initiative, specifying the focus of evaluation, detailing the evaluation process, and concluding with its broader impact. Therefore, the best sequence to construct a coherent sentence is SQPR.
