EnglishOrdering of Words in a Sentence
- AP Q R S
- BQ P R S
- CR P Q S
- DR P S Q
Explanation
The proper order is Q-P-R-S, option (b). Q (‘with all his might’) must directly follow ‘he threw a stone’, describing how the stone was thrown. P (‘raising dust in the road’) describes the passing car. R and S form the result: ‘and hit the man who was driving it’. The full sentence: ‘When the car passed by, he threw a stone, with all his might, raising dust in the road, and hit the man who was driving it.’
