Explanation:

Let’s break it down:

- The series is: P _ r s q r p s _ p q s _ q r _ q r p s _ p _ s

- Each blank needs the right letter so when you read it all together, you keep seeing repeating patterns.

- Notice the chunk “p r s q r p s”—it repeats, just with the blank spots.

- So, let’s check each option by sliding the letters in.

Option 1: q, r, p, s, r, q

- Fill it in: P q r s q r p s r p q s s q r r q r p s q p s

- That does not align the repeating patterns—we get extra r's and s's. It feels forced.

Option 2: q, r, p, p, r, q

- Try plugging these in:

- P q r s q r p s r p q s p q r p q r p s p p s

- The “p r s q r p s” pattern remains, and each stretch fits the series.

- You see the group p r s q r p s coming up again and again, same order.

Option 3 and 4, if you slot those in, the pattern breaks even more.

So, what this really means is:

Option 2 (q, r, p, p, r, q) is the correct answer.

Here’s a bonus tip—when you spot those repeating chunks, that’s usually your big clue. Option 2 keeps the pattern flowing. The others throw it off.

Option 2 is the right pick.
