Show answer and solution
Answer: (C) PRSQ
P follows the decision with her initial fear. R shows the coach helping her, S shows fear turning into confidence because of this, and Q is the result a year later. 'Slowly' in S needs R before it, so PSRQ is wrong. Look for pronouns, connectors and time words that link a sentence to the one before it; they reveal the logical chain that holds the paragraph together.
