P. time
Q. is nature's way
R. of preventing everything from happening
S. all at once

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

Answer 1

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

The correct sequence is: 'Time (P) is nature's way (Q) of preventing everything from happening (R) all at once (S). This is grammatically correct and conveys a meaningful sentence. Hence, option C is correct.

Option A: The phrase, 'all at once' means 'suddenly'. It also means 'at the same time'. The sequence, 'Time (P) all at once (S), is nature's way (Q) of preventing everything from happening (R)', does not convey any meaning.

Option B: The sequence, 'Time (P) is nature's way (Q)' all at once (S) of preventing everything from happening (R)', does not convey any meaning.

In both options A and B, it is not clear what is happening suddenly or at the same time as something else. Hence, these options are incorrect.

A sentence cannot start with a preposition. Option D starts with the preposition 'of'. Hence, this option is incorrect.
