The correct answer is option (A):
SPQR
The question asks us to arrange jumbled parts of a sentence or passage to form a coherent and meaningful whole. Let's analyze each option by reading the segments in the proposed order and checking for logical flow and grammatical correctness.
Let's consider the provided correct answer: SPQR.
If we arrange the segments in the order S, P, Q, R, we get:
S: More than half the peas sold in the world
P: Are canned and almost all the rest are frozen
Q: They contain lots of dietary fibre and protein
R: But, most importantly, they taste of the freshness of winter
Let's read this sequence aloud: "More than half the peas sold in the world are canned and almost all the rest are frozen. They contain lots of dietary fibre and protein. But, most importantly, they taste of the freshness of winter."
This sequence flows logically.
Sentence S introduces the topic of peas sold in the world and their preservation methods.
Sentence P continues this by specifying that most are canned or frozen.
Sentence Q then provides information about the nutritional benefits of peas, which is a common follow-up when discussing a food item.
Sentence R concludes by highlighting a more subjective but important quality – their taste, contrasting it with preservation methods. The use of "But, most importantly" suggests a transition to a more significant point, which works well after discussing preservation and nutritional value.
Now let's briefly consider why other options might not be as good:
QRSP: "They contain lots of dietary fibre and protein. But, most importantly, they taste of the freshness of winter. More than half the peas sold in the world. Are canned and almost all the rest are frozen." This is grammatically incorrect as it breaks into incomplete sentences and lacks a clear introductory statement.
PSRQ: "Are canned and almost all the rest are frozen. More than half the peas sold in the world. They contain lots of dietary fibre and protein. But, most importantly, they taste of the freshness of winter." This starts with a fragment and lacks a logical flow.
RQSP: "But, most importantly, they taste of the freshness of winter. They contain lots of dietary fibre and protein. More than half the peas sold in the world. Are canned and almost all the rest are frozen." This also starts with a concluding thought and is out of order.
PRSQ: "Are canned and almost all the rest are frozen. More than half the peas sold in the world. They contain lots of dietary fibre and protein. But, most importantly, they taste of the freshness of winter." Similar to PSRQ, this starts awkwardly and the placement of S is problematic.
Therefore, SPQR is the most coherent and meaningful sequence. It begins with a general statement about peas, details their common forms, discusses their nutritional value, and concludes with a statement about their taste.
The final answer is $\boxed{SPQR}$.
