A Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct option. S1 introduces the topic of the passage (24 hour locksmiths). This is connected with Q by the conjunction ‘but’ which forms the contrasting statement to the statement given in S1. P connects to Q by the adverb ‘likewise’ which follows the sentence Q. R connects to P because it tells us more about the duties of the 24 hour locksmith (check of the security framework). This connects to S as it follows the checking of security framework (lock picking to test the passages). This is then followed by S2 (the summing uo of the duties of a 24 hour locksmith).
