UPSC 2017 CDS II English Paper

‘Q’ will be the first part of the given sequence as it completes the fragmented part logically. P will come next as ‘go to a small village’ makes a logical phrase together. SR will form a pair together because ‘instead of’ brings a transition in the sentence and R then obviously is the last section of this sequence. Hence, QPSR is the right sequence. Thus, option (d) is correct.
