P Q R S
Which one of the following is the correct sequence?

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

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

R-Q-P-S

The first statement in the sequence should be the one that best connects with the first line. It must be a continuation or extension of the first line.

R is first in the sequence: The first line says that she introduced me. R tells us who she introduced the subject to. It says that she introduced the subject to a man.

R is followed by Q: Q tells us who this man was. It says that it was a man that the subject had met.

Q is followed by P: P tells us where the subject met the man. It says that the subject met the man at a party.

P is followed by S: S tells us when this party was. It says that the party was on the previous night.

Finally, the correct sentence is 'She introduced me to a man I had met at the party the previous night'.

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