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.

I realized (P)more than ever (Q)and how we lived and worked (R)how cut off we were from our people (S)and agitated in a little world apart from them

The correct sequence should be

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

Answer 1

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

P is first in the sequence: P best connects with the first line. Thus, the line becomes 'I realized more than ever'.

P is followed by R: R tells us what the subject realized. It says that the subject realized more than ever how cut off we were from our people.

R is followed by Q: Q tells us what else the subject realized. It says that the subject realized how cut off we were and how we lived and worked.

Q is followed by S: S continues Q's point. It says how we lived and worked and agitated in a little world apart from them.

Finally, the corrected sentence is 'I realized more than ever how cut off we were from our people and how we lived and worked and agitated in a little world apart from them'.

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