Answer 1

The correct answer is option (D):

PSRQ

The correct sequence is PSRQ. Here's the breakdown of why:

The goal is to create a logical and coherent sentence or passage from the jumbled parts. Let's analyze each option and why PSRQ fits best.

* **P: Developed countries, including European economies and to a lesser extent** - This phrase starts by identifying a subject ("Developed countries") and hinting at further explanation or examples. It sets the stage for a discussion about those countries.

* **S: Japan, have been hit by the crisis in the US** - This phrase specifies an example of a developed country (Japan) and provides the first part of what happened to them - being affected by the US crisis.

* **R: Developing countries have been affected as well, but they have** - This phrase adds the element of developing countries. The key connector here is "as well" which means that similar circumstances are happening to this group as to the countries listed earlier. This follows the natural flow of the paragraph, contrasting developing countries to developed countries.

* **Q: Nevertheless, managed to maintain robust rates of economic growth** - This phrase completes the explanation, by setting the results of the crisis on these countries. The phrase starts with "Nevertheless", indicating a contradiction. The previous phrase indicates the impact of the crisis. Then, this phrase gives the result "managed to maintain robust rates of economic growth".

Therefore, the combined sentences would read: "Developed countries, including European economies and to a lesser extent Japan, have been hit by the crisis in the US. Developing countries have been affected as well, but they have nevertheless, managed to maintain robust rates of economic growth."

The Correct Option is D
