Key Points

  • The given question is an example of a Para Jumble.
  • We know that the first statement of a para jumbled question is usually an independent general statement, a noun, a universal fact, starting of an incident, or it starts with 'most' or 'once'.
  • Sentence R sets the context and describes the event of McArthur Wheeler robbing two banks without a disguise.
  • Sentence Q follows and provides an additional detail that he even looked into the security camera and smiled, which shows that he was overconfident and underestimated the consequences of his actions.
  • Then, sentence S provides the consequence of his action that by 11:00 at night, his picture was all over the news, which ultimately led to his identification by an informant to the police.
  • Finally, sentence P concludes the paragraph by stating that he was arrested and put in jail within an hour. 
  • Thus, the correct answer is Option 3.
