Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Answer: QSPR
Explanation:
First, after daydreaming that he is a good runner, the mule actually starts running across the field.
Next, the master sees the mule running fast and concludes that the mule is a good runner.
Then, because the master is in a hurry to reach the market, he sits on the mule and whips him to go faster.
Finally, forced to run faster, the mule collapses and realizes the truth: though his mother was a racehorse, his father was only a donkey.
Thus the correct chronological order of the middle parts is: the mule starts running → the master sees him running → the master sits on and whips him → the mule collapses. This corresponds to the sequence Q S P R.
