Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation:
The correct order of the four parts is: P → Q → S → R, giving the full sequence 1 P Q S R 6. Reasoning:
P follows the opening statement because 1 says where the Olympic games started and P specifies the location (Athens).
Q follows P because Q explains the revival of the modern Olympic movement by Pierre de Coubertin, linking the ancient origin to the modern Olympics.
S follows Q because S names a recent instance of the modern Olympics (the 2012 venue was London), providing context for what comes next.
R follows S because R comments on the 2012 opening ceremony (Danny Boyle’s show) and so naturally comes after mentioning that 2012 was in London.
The final sentence (6) about the Queen’s surprising role refers to her cameo in Danny Boyle’s 2012 opening ceremony, so it pairs with R and comes last.
Thus the assembled sentence reads coherently as: 1 (origin) → P (Athens) → Q (modern revival) → S (2012 in London) → R (Danny Boyle’s opening ceremony) → 6 (the Queen’s role).
