1 : Some remarks P : put the police on the right scent Q : by a woman R : and they discovered S : casually dropped 6 : the whole gang of brigands. The Proper sequence should be:

The correct answer is: A. QSPR

Here is a brief explanation of each option:

• QSPR: This is the correct sequence. The remarks casually dropped by a woman put the police on the right scent, and they discovered the whole gang of brigands.
• RPSQ: This is not the correct sequence. The police discovered the whole gang of brigands, and then the remarks casually dropped by a woman put them on the right scent. This is not possible, because the police would not have known where to look for the gang without the woman’s remarks.
• RQSP: This is not the correct sequence. The woman casually dropped the remarks, and then the police discovered the whole gang of brigands. This is not possible, because the police would not have known that the woman’s remarks were important without first discovering the gang.
• SQPR: This is not the correct sequence. The police put the woman on the right scent, and then she casually dropped the remarks. This is not possible, because the police would not have known what scent to put the woman on without first hearing her remarks.
