The correct answer is: D. PSQR
The sentence should be:
The chief cause is the population explosion. Despite stupendous efforts by our government, the population is growing unabated. Every year, we add more than a crore of persons to our population. To find food for these growing new millions is a desperate task. This unprecedented growth can drag us to the doors of starvation very soon.
The sentence is about the causes of chronic food shortage in India. The first sentence states that the chief cause is the population explosion. The second sentence supports this by stating that the population is growing unabated, despite stupendous efforts by the government. The third sentence provides more evidence of the population growth by stating that every year, India adds more than a crore of persons to its population. The fourth sentence states that finding food for these growing new millions is a desperate task. The fifth sentence concludes by stating that this unprecedented growth can drag India to the doors of starvation very soon.
The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the logical order of the sentences. Option A, QRSP, puts the third sentence first, which does not make sense because the third sentence provides evidence for the first sentence. Option B, SQPR, puts the second sentence first, which does not make sense because the second sentence supports the first sentence. Option C, QPRS, puts the fourth sentence first, which does not make sense because the fourth sentence is a conclusion that should come after the evidence has been presented.
