C) P S Q R D) S QR P
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) P S Q R

Explanation:

The starting statement talked about Helen and her graduation. So, the continuing statement would be talking about the age of Helen when she completed her honours. So, P would be the succeeding statement. So, P being the first statement eliminates all other options. Thus, the correct sequence is PSQR.
