Answer 1

Answer: (C)

R-P-S-Q

Option A is incorrect as the two nouns, 'food' and 'the dining table' are placed close together, without any word in between. The phrase, 'food dining table' does not convey any meaning.

Option B is incorrect as the phrase, 'Lying on food' does not convey any meaning.

Option C: The sequence, 'There was (R) food (P) lying on (S) the dining table (Q)', is grammatically correct, complete and meaningful. Hence, option C is correct.

Option D: The phrase, 'The dining table lying on food' does not convey any meaning. Hence, this option is incorrect.
