Difficulty: Medium
Correct Answer: QSRP
Explanation:
Given data
Concept / Approach
Use misdirection → policy → violation of expectation → descriptive confirmation → reveal. The narrative first notices (Q), then applies a rule (S), then observes defiance (R), and finally describes the man (P) before the twist in S6.
Step-by-step ordering
S1 + Q → someone stands by the narrator.… + S → advice to ignore perceived beggars.… + R → this person doesn't go away.… + P → vivid description sustains the misread.… + S6 → twist: he is the waiter.
Why others fail (quick checks)
SQRP/SQPR begin with policy before perception; Q must introduce the situation first.QSPR jumps from policy to description (P) without showing the unusual persistence (R) that motivates the reveal.
