EnglishOrdering of Words in a Sentence
- AR P S Q
- BR Q P S
- CP Q S R
- DR S P Q
Explanation
The proper order is R-Q-P-S, option (b). The original sentence: ‘In spite of the extraordinary progress (R) made by medical sciences (Q), the poor and hungry people (P) often die (S).’ R and Q form the concessive phrase ‘progress made by medical sciences’; P and S give the main clause. No other arrangement yields a grammatical sentence.
