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

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

S-Q-R-T-P

The subject usually goes before the verb. The object usually goes after the verb. The subject can be expanded by using an adjectival phrase, like "a statue of Nelson Mandela". The verb is "stands". The preposition "in front of" comes before the object it modifies, which is, "the entrance to Mandela Shopping Square". Therefore, the full sentence is "A statue of Nelson Mandela stands in front of the entrance to Mandela Shopping Square". Hence, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not express this condition, hence incorrect.
