Answer 1

Hint: Read the given sentences carefully. Try to understand what information the given sentences are trying to convey. Find the subject, predicate and object of the sentences. Arrange the sentences that they convey the given information in the best way possible.
Complete answer: In the given question, we have to arrange the jumbled parts of the given sentence in a logical and grammatically correct order, so that the sentence starts making some sense. There are four different options given, with four different combinations. We have to choose the best one.
Now, let us examine all the given options to find out the correct answer :
Option(a) P-Q-R-S: It is the correct answer as the sentence would make complete sense if arranged in this manner. The sentence would be grammatically correct, with the correctly placed subject and predicate.
Option (b)R-P-Q-S: It cannot be the correct answer because there is no specific subject, predicate, or object shown in this format of the sentence. This combination is illogical. So, we will eliminate this option.
Option(c)S-R-Q-P: It cannot be the correct answer because there is no specific subject, predicate, or object shown in this format of the sentence. This combination is illogical. So, we will eliminate this option.
Option(d)S-P-Q-R: It cannot be the correct answer because there is no specific subject, predicate, or object shown in this format of the sentence. This combination is illogical. So, we will eliminate this option.
Hence, the option ‘a’ is the correct option.
Note: Check if the subject, predicate and object of the sentences are placed in order while arranging the jumbled parts of any sentence. Always try to figure out what the sentences are trying to convey and then arrange them in the best way possible.
