P Q R S
The correct sequence should be:

• A. S-Q-R-P
• B. R-P-Q-S
• C. S-P-Q-R
• D. S-R-P-Q

Answer 1

The correct option is B R-P-Q-S

The first statement in the sequence should be the one that starts a topic. It must not be a continuation or extension of a topic.

R is first in the sequence: R is the phrase that can best begin the sentence. It says 'bringing the light'.

R is followed by P: P continues the sentence by telling us where the light was brought from. Thus, the line becomes 'bringing the light from behind a curtain'.

P is followed by Q: Q tells the purpose of the above sentence. It says that bringing the light from behind a curtain he held in such a manner.

Q is followed by S: S continues by telling us what manner it was. It says he held it in such a manner that it(light) fell slantwise on her face.

Finally, the correct sentence is 'Bringing the light from behind a curtain he held it in such a manner that it fell slantwise on her face'.

Thus, the correct sequence is R P Q S. Hence, B is the correct option.
