Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Coherent paragraph sequencing follows a fixed logic: the opening sentence introduces the topic in general terms; a causal or consequential connector then explains what that fact leads to; and any sentence that opens with a demonstrative reference ('such', 'these', 'this') must come strictly after the sentence that first introduces the noun it points back to.
P states the general trend — 'more and more people are becoming conscious about their health' — and works as the opening sentence that introduces the paragraph's subject.
R uses the connector 'This is why' to link directly to P's cause, explaining that food processing companies are now bringing out health-specific products — so R must follow P.
S opens with 'to promote such products' — 'such products' refers back to the health-specific products first named in R, so S must come after R.
Q opens with 'These advertisements' — a demonstrative reference to the advertisements first introduced in S — so Q must come after S.
Reading P-R-S-Q as one continuous paragraph confirms the logic holds end to end with no dangling reference: health-consciousness (P) leads to health-specific products (R), which are promoted through advertisements (S), which are then detailed further (Q).
The order PQRS places Q ('These advertisements') directly after P, before S has introduced any advertisement — the demonstrative reference has no antecedent yet.
The order PSRQ places S ('to promote such products') before R, but 'such products' needs R's health-specific products to already be on the table — reversing them breaks the reference.
The order PRQS places Q ('These advertisements') before S, again using the demonstrative reference before any advertisement has been introduced.
The ordered paragraph reads: More and more people are becoming conscious about their health. This is why a lot of food processing companies are coming out with health-specific products. Further, to promote such products, specific advertisements are being made. These advertisements highlight the nutritional value and health benefits of the products.
Therefore, the logically coherent order is P-R-S-Q.
