UPSC CDS English Ordering of Words in a Sentence Part 1 Questions

’R’ will be the first part of the given sequence as it begins with the word, ‘In spite’. ‘P’ will follow logically as ‘in spite’ is generally followed by ‘however’. ‘S’ will come next as it contains the subject, that is, ‘Indian silk and cotton textiles’. ‘Q’ will come at the end as it completes what began in ‘R’ with the word ‘in spite’ and tells the actual result or condition. Hence, RPSQ is the correct sequence. Thus, option (d) is correct.
