Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To solve the question involving the rearrangement of jumbled sentence parts, we need to determine the sequence that creates a coherent and meaningful statement related to the effects of harsh laws. Let's examine the provided parts one by one: 

• P: Harsh and draconian laws will not only violate the right to liberty granted by Article 21 of the Constitution
• Q: And other law enforcing agencies, which will have much more opportunity
• R: To extort money from the citizens, apart from impeding scientific and economic growth
• S: But also lead to great evils such as an increase in corruption in the police

We need to determine the sequence that logically connects these sentence fragments:

1. Part P introduces the topic by discussing the violation of the right to liberty by harsh laws.
2. Part S continues from the idea in P by explaining one of the consequences, which is an increase in corruption in the police.
3. Part Q builds on the consequence introduced in S, explaining further by mentioning the scope for law enforcing agencies to exploit the situation.
4. Finally, part R completes the sentence by detailing the implications, such as extortion and impacts on growth.

The correct sequence is PSQR. This order logically connects the ideas and provides a complete understanding of the consequences of harsh laws.

Option	Sequence	Coherent?
PSQR	PSQR	Yes, fully coherent
QRPS	QRPS	No, lacks coherence
SQPR	SQPR	No, lacks coherence
QRSP	QRSP	No, lacks coherence
RQPS	RQPS	No, lacks coherence

Thus, the correct answer is indeed PSQR, which forms a coherent sentence discussing the implications of harsh, draconian laws.
