The proper sequence should be :
EnglishOrdering of Words in a Sentence
- AQ P R S
- BP R S Q
- CQ R S P
- DR S Q P
Explanation
The proper order is Q-P-R-S, option (a). This is Nehru’s ‘Tryst with Destiny’ speech: ‘A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance’. The ‘which’ in Q refers to ‘a moment’, so Q comes first. P and R are parallel ‘when’ clauses, and S completes R. No other arrangement preserves the quotation’s logic.
