P. as expected, but
Q. our manufacturing division
R. all in all
S. we had a good year
T. didn't do as well

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

Answer 1

The correct option is D Q-T-P-R-S

The correct sequence is: 'Our manufacturing division (Q) didn't do as well (T) as expected, but (P) all in all, (R) we had a good year'. It is complete, grammatically correct and makes a meaningful sentence. Hence, option D is correct.

The phrase, 'as well as' is used to compare two quantities or nouns. Hence, phrase T should be immediately followed by phrase P. However, in options A, B and C, this sequence is not followed. Hence, these options are incorrect.
