Correct answer
D. Q S P R
Step-by-step solution
The correct sequence of the jumbled parts is Q S P R.
The sentence begins with the conjunction 'whereas' introducing a contrast. Part Q 'whereas traditional fairy tales' is the subject of the first clause. Part S 'were designed for the entertainment' provides the verb phrase for the subject. Part P 'of children they also contain deeply embedded' completes the first clause and introduces the subject and verb of the second clause. Part R 'moral lessons that are relevant even for adults' completes the sentence.
The complete sentence reads: 'Whereas traditional fairy tales were designed for the entertainment of children, they also contain deeply embedded moral lessons that are relevant even for adults.'
