    A PSRQ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B SRPQ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C QSRP Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D RQSP Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Here, in P and R, ‘the pit’ is mentioned. So, something about a pit should be mentioned earlier. Also, Q as the first in the set doesn’t make sense because we don’t know where the shepherds came from. S should be the first sentence. R follows S. After that, P is correct, as other shepherds will come only after the first one calls out. Q is the last in the set. So, the correct sequence is SRPQ.
