In this sentence arrangement question, the first segment is fixed as "Introduction of the finance bill was delayed". The remaining segments are: (P) budget allocation for the cottage, (Q) debating over the renewal of the last year budget allocation, (R) by a week as the lawmakers were busy, and (S) industry which got wasted. Rearrange P, Q, R, and S so that the entire sentence becomes logical and grammatically correct.

Introduction / Context:
This question tests your ability to reorder jumbled sentence segments in order to form a single clear, logical, and grammatically correct statement. The fixed beginning about the introduction of the finance bill sets up a context connected to lawmakers, budgets, and time delay. Your task is to decide which sequence of the segments P, Q, R, and S best continues that idea without breaking the flow of meaning or grammar.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Fixed opening: "Introduction of the finance bill was delayed".
• P: "budget allocation for the cottage".
• Q: "debating over the renewal of the last year budget allocation".
• R: "by a week as the lawmakers were busy".
• S: "industry which got wasted".
• We must join all parts into one coherent sentence about why the introduction was delayed.

Concept / Approach:
In sentence rearrangement questions, you must look for logical links, connectors, and grammatical fit. Here, the fixed part talks about a delay, so the next natural piece should explain the duration and cause of the delay, for example "by a week as the lawmakers were busy". After that, we expect to hear what they were busy doing, and finally we expect details of the specific budget. We must also ensure that noun phrases and their qualifiers remain together, such as "budget allocation for the cottage industry which got wasted".

Step-by-Step Solution:
Step 1: After "was delayed", a phrase beginning with "by a week" fits naturally, so R should come first: "was delayed by a week as the lawmakers were busy". Step 2: The lawmakers were busy doing something, which is described in Q: "debating over the renewal of the last year budget allocation". Place Q after R. Step 3: The phrase "budget allocation for the cottage industry which got wasted" must be kept together. P gives "budget allocation for the cottage" and S completes it with "industry which got wasted". Thus P is followed by S. Step 4: Combining everything, the full sentence becomes: "Introduction of the finance bill was delayed by a week as the lawmakers were busy debating over the renewal of the last year budget allocation for the cottage industry which got wasted." Step 5: This order corresponds to the sequence RQPS, which matches option C.

Verification / Alternative check:
Try other sequences quickly. If P comes immediately after the fixed part, "Introduction of the finance bill was delayed budget allocation for the cottage" is ungrammatical. If S comes early, "industry which got wasted" has no clear noun before it. Putting Q first, "was delayed debating over the renewal" misses a duration phrase like "by a week" in between. Only RQPS produces a smooth timeline: delay by a week, cause of delay, and specific budget that was under debate and wasted.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
PQRS starts with a broken phrase after the fixed segment and never clearly indicates the duration of delay at the correct place.

SPQR places "industry which got wasted" too early and separates it from "budget allocation for the cottage", which it should qualify.

QRPS begins with "debating over the renewal" directly after "was delayed", which makes the sentence clumsy and misplaces the "by a week" duration phrase.

Common Pitfalls:
Learners often focus only on meaning and forget basic grammar, such as where time expressions like "by a week" should appear. Another frequent mistake is splitting a noun and its qualifier, for example separating "budget allocation" from "for the cottage industry which got wasted". Always try to keep closely related fragments together and ensure that each step from the fixed part follows naturally in time and logic.

Final Answer:
The correct sequence of segments is RQPS, so option C is correct.
