Correct option is A
Option (a) is the correct order of the given sentences.
Explanation of the correct sequence (PQRS):
Let’s reconstruct the full sentence using option (a):
"While infection can potentially cause severe disease and can kill, timely treatment with commonly available antibiotics should clear the infection."
Here’s why this order is correct:
· P. "potentially cause severe disease"
· → This is the direct continuation of “While infection can…”, expressing the possible consequence of an infection.
· Q. "and can kill, timely treatment"
· → Extends the consequence further — "can kill" — and transitions to a contrast by starting "timely treatment..."
· R. "with commonly available antibiotics"
· → Modifies "timely treatment" by specifying the kind of treatment.
· S. "should clear the infection"
· → Concludes the sentence with the expected result of the treatment.
Logical Flow Summary:
· While infection can → P (cause disease)
· → Q (and can kill, but…)
· → R (treatment with antibiotics)
· → S (clears the infection)
Why other options are incorrect:
· (b) QSPR – Begins with “and can kill” without explaining what the infection does first — illogical without P.
· (c) QRPS – Starts with “with antibiotics…” right after “infection can”, which doesn't connect grammatically.
· (d) PSQR – Jumps from disease to treatment without completing the contrast using "and can kill", making the sentence sound abrupt.
