Why do people P : despite a desire Q : to quit and despite R : continue smoking S : the known health hazards? The Proper sequence should be:

The correct answer is D. RSPQ.

The sentence is asking why people continue to smoke despite a desire to quit and despite the known health hazards. The correct order of the words is:

• R: Despite
• S: the known health hazards
• P: people
• Q: continue smoking
• Q: despite a desire
