Answer 1

Hint:You must read the parts carefully to solve this question. Try to find out the core meaning of the sentence and also find the subject and predicate of the sentence.

Complete answer:
The first statement in the sequence should be the one that best connects with the first line. It must be a continuation or extension of the first line.
Q is first in the sequence: Q best connects with the first line. Thus, the line becomes 'I was just in time'.
Q is followed by P: P continues by telling us what the subject was just in time. It says that the subject was just in time to see a mongoose.
P is followed by S: S tells us what this mongoose was doing. It says that the mongoose was scurrying across the grass.
S is followed by R: R tells us how it was scurrying. It says that the mongoose was scurrying with an egg in its mouth.
Finally, the correct sentence is 'I was just in time to see a mongoose scurrying across the grass with an egg in its mouth'.
Thus, the correct sequence is Q P S R. The complete sentence would be – I was just in time to see a mongoose scurrying across the grass with an egg in its mouth. Hence, option ‘b’ is the correct option.

Note:
All the other options are plausible distractions. You will know the correct answer more easily if you find the object of the sentence.
