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

Answer 1

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

The correct sequence is: 'The team (S) will consist of (Q) as many as (P) fifteen people (R)'. This sequence is grammatically correct and makes a meaningful sentence. Hence, option D is correct.

Option A: The sequence, 'The team (S) will consist of (Q) fifteen people (R) as many as (P)', is grammatically incorrect and does not make a meaningful sentence. This is because the sentence cannot end with the phrase, 'as many as'. It has to be followed by a number. Hence, option A is incorrect.

Option B: The beginning sequence, 'The team (S) fifteen people (R)' is grammatically incorrect. This is because there is no preposition between the noun (team) and the noun phrase (fifteen people). Hence, option B is incorrect.

Option C: The beginning sequence, 'As many as (R) the team (S),' is grammatically incorrect. This is because the phrase, 'as many as' has to be followed by a number. Hence, option C is correct.
