Answer 1

The correct answer is option (A):

SQPR

The correct answer is SQPR. Let's break down why and analyze the other options.

The goal is to create a grammatically sound and logically coherent sentence or passage. We need to identify a starting point and build the sentence from there.

* **S:** "The United Nations initiative to evaluate national corporate..." This seems like a good starting point, introducing the subject of the sentence.

* **Q:** "...Laws and practices in terms of their consistency with human rights..." This clause provides context to the word corporate mentioned in the previous line and also seems logically connected to the evaluation of the corporate.

* **P:** "...Norms follows in a long series of steps to ensure transparency..." This connects to the laws and practices in the previous part of the sentence by emphasizing transparency.

* **R:** "...And accountability of multi-national corporations" This completes the idea of evaluation by talking about accountability, completing the sentence.

Therefore, the most logical flow is:

* The United Nations initiative to evaluate national corporate (S)
* Laws and practices in terms of their consistency with human rights (Q)
* Norms follows in a long series of steps to ensure transparency (P)
* And accountability of multi-national corporations (R)

This sequence forms a coherent and meaningful statement about the UN's efforts regarding corporate responsibility.

Now let's see why the other options are incorrect:

* **QSP:** This would start with the laws and practice. This would not be a good starting point as it does not indicate the subject of the context.

* **SPRQ:** This starts with the United Nations initiative, but jumps to norms, skipping an important connecting phrase about laws. This creates a logical break.

* **QRSP:** This sequence starts with Laws and practices, which is not the subject of the sentence.

* **SQRP:** This sequence starts with the United Nations initiative. However, it then jumps to norms. This sequence breaks the logical flow.

So, SQPR is the only option that creates a grammatically correct and logically sound sentence structure.

The Correct Option is A
