Correct Answer: RQSP


Solution : The correct choice is the first option: RQSP.

Explanation:

  • R (Drought, floods, war, and economic instability are): This opening part introduces the various factors (drought, floods, war, and economic instability) that contribute to famine. It sets the stage by identifying the key elements to be discussed.
  • Q (some of the causes of famine in that region): Following the introduction, this part specifies that the discussion pertains to the causes of famine in a particular region. It narrows down the focus from general causes to those affecting a specific area.
  • S (which not only causes a severe shortage of food): This part builds upon the causes mentioned earlier and starts to explain the impact of these causes. Specifically, it emphasises that these factors lead to a severe shortage of food.
  • P (but results in widespread hunger, death, and social unrest): Finally, the last part concludes the sentence by highlighting the broader consequences of the mentioned causes. It reveals that the severe shortage of food doesn't just stop at scarcity but results in widespread issues such as hunger, death, and social unrest.
