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

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

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

Answer 1

The correct option is A S-R-Q-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.

S is first in the sequence: S best connects with the first line. Thus, the line becomes 'Of all the things that distinguish man from the rest'.

S is followed by R: R continues by telling us the rest of who. It talks about distinguishing man from the rest of the animal kingdom.

R is followed by Q: Q starts telling us what that thing is. It says the most important among all is something.

Q is followed by P: P tells us what this something is It says that the most important is his brain.

Finally, the correct sentence is 'Of all things that distinguish man from the rest of the animal kingdom, the most important is his brain.'.

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