Question

Some parts of the sentence given below have been jumbled up. You are required to re-arrange these parts which are labelled P, Q, R and S to produce the correct sentence. Choose the proper sequence from the options.

You can learn (P)and can be quite difficult (Q)as well as the difficult ones (R)the easy things (S)although the easy ones are not so easy

Which one-of the following is the correct sequence?

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

Answer 1

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

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: R best connects with the first line. It says that you can learn the easy things.

R is followed by Q: Q directly continues R' point. It says that you can learn the easy things as well as the difficult ones.

Q is followed by S: S adds a condition to the sentence. It says that you can learn easy and difficult things although the easy ones are not so easy.

S is followed by P: P directly adds to S. It says that although the easy ones are not so easy and can be quite difficult.

Finally, the correct line is 'You can learn the easy things as well as the difficult ones although the easy ones are not so easy and can be quite difficult'.

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