The following question in this section consists of a sentence, the parts of which have been jumbled. These parts have been labelled P, Q, R and S. You are required to re-arrange the jumbled parts of the sentence and select the correct sequence.

P Q R S
The correct sequence should be :

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

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

S-P-R-Q

The orders of words should be Subject+ verb(S)+ adverb of manner (P)+ direct object(R)+ infinitive to show purpose(Q). Hence, Option B, that is, "Fume is earned by showing off one's ability and virtue to the best advantage." is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect.
