The proper sequence should be :
EnglishOrdering of Words in a Sentence
- AQ R PS
- BQ P S R
- CR Q S P
- DR Q P S
Explanation
The proper order is R-Q-P-S, option (d). The full sentence is: ‘She had a blind belief that inside the bag, which the big man carried, there were perhaps two or three other children like herself’. R’s ‘which’ refers to ‘the bag’, so R comes first. Q and P form the phrase ‘there were perhaps two or three other children’. S (‘like herself’) must close the sentence, comparing the children to her.
