A Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct option. S1 introduces the topic of the passage ‘training is the most crucial element of the industry’. This connects to R (the phrase ‘in fact’ indicates that it is introducing a fact that has been proved right by observation; this takes the topic forward). This is followed by Q (The phrase ‘after all’ introduces a statement that is proven right in spite of all expectations to contrary. Q expands on ‘importance of training in reputed companies’). This is followed by P (‘quality of training’ in Q connects to ‘service of professional trainers’ in P). This is followed by S (the pronoun ‘it’ in S refers to ‘services of professional trainers’ in P). S6 connects logically with S (‘adequate professional development’ in S connects with ‘without adequate and efficient training’ in S6).
