Correct Answer: SPQR


Solution : The correct solution is the first option.

Explanation:

  • Sentence S: This sentence sets the stage by providing the context that at least two lakh people are directly dependent on the lake for fishing.

  • Sentence P: Following the introduction, this sentence explains that the demand for fish has increased, contributing to the problem.

  • Sentence Q: Building on the issue of increased demand, this sentence states that adequate fish is not available in the lake.

  • Sentence R: The final sentence provides a reason for the decline in fish availability, linking it to the construction of the barrage and its impact on migratory fish.

So, the reordered paragraph would be: "At least two lakh people are directly dependent on the lake for fishing. The demand for fish has increased. However, adequate fish is not available in the lake. This is mainly because the migratory fish from Chindwin-Irrawaddy river system to Manipur river system have declined steadily after the barrage came up."
