Read the following sentences and re-arrange them

Why do people
(P) despite a desire
(Q) to quit and despite
(R) continue smoking
(S) the known health hazards?

RPQS

The correct answer is option 2. RPQS.

My apologies for the oversight. Let us reconstruct the paragraph according to Option 2, which is RPQS.

(R) continue smoking: This sentence introduces the main action or behavior being discussed, which is the act of continuing to smoke.

(P) despite a desire: This sentence adds complexity to the discussion by mentioning the presence of a desire to quit smoking.

(Q) to quit and despite: This sentence further elaborates on the complexity introduced in (P) by highlighting the presence of both a desire to quit and the persistence of smoking behavior.

(S) the known health hazards?: This sentence concludes the paragraph by raising a question about why people continue to smoke despite having a desire to quit and despite being aware of the known health hazards.

So, the rearranged paragraph reads: "Why do people continue smoking despite a desire to quit and despite the known health hazards?"
