Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Correct sequence: RSQP
Explanation:
R — "AIDS patients are carriers of the virus." This sentence introduces who carries the virus and fits naturally right after a general opening about AIDS.
S — "People who are infected develop AIDS within five to ten years." This explains the typical time course of progression and follows introduction of carriers.
Q — "This disease destroys part of the body's immune system." This gives the biological mechanism that explains how the disease affects the body.
P — "This results in the victim’s inability to defend themselves from infections, leading to death." This states the consequence and so serves as a natural concluding sentence.
Putting these sentences in the order R → S → Q → P builds a clear progression: introduce carriers, state the timeline to disease, explain the mechanism, then give the consequence.
