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

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

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: R best connects with the first line. Thus, the line becomes 'A good garden laid out on a magnificent scale'.

R is followed by Q: Q tells us where this garden is. It says the the garden is laid out on a magnificent scale round about a huge building or palace'.

Q is followed by P: P continues by telling us the purpose of such a garden. It says that such a garden must display something.

P is followed by S: S tells us what it should display. It says that such a garden must display fresh flower arrangements every month.

Finally, the corrected sentence is 'A good garden laid out on a magnificent scale round about a huge building or palace should display fresh flower arrangements every month'.

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