Correct Answer: PRSQ
Solution : The correct option is the second option .
There is a logical progression : It starts by introducing the boy's bad temper, then explains the father's strategy to help the boy control his temper, followed by the initial consequence (37 nails hammered in), and ends with the improvement in the boy's behaviour over time.
The most logical order of the sentences to form a coherent paragraph would be:
P: There once was a little boy who had a very bad temper.
R: His father decided to hand him a bag of nails and said that every time the boy lost his temper, he had to hammer a nail into the fence.
S: On the first day, the boy hammered 37 nails into that fence.
Q: The boy gradually began to control his temper over the next few weeks, and the number of nails he was hammering into the fence slowly decreased.
So, the right order would be PRSQ .
