Show Answer

1. Einstein said
   S. that there were only twelve people
   R. who understood
   Q. his theory of relativity
   P. although more than 900 books had been written
2. attempting to explain it.
   The logic behind this sequence is that the sentence starts with Einstein’s statement (1), then specifies what he said (S and R), introduces his theory (Q), and finally refers to the many books written about it (P and 6).
   So, the complete paragraph is: “Einstein said that there were only twelve people who understood his theory of relativity although more than 900 books had been written attempting to explain it. “
   Therefore option 1 is correct.
