EnglishOrdering of Words in a Sentence
- AP Q R S
- BS R P Q
- CQ S R P
- DR P Q S
Explanation
The only coherent assembly is Q S R P: 'They refused to divulge the venues of these raids, saying that it would affect the investigation process.' Q ('they refused') must open, S ('to divulge the venues') follows the verb, R ('of these raids saying') connects the object to the reason clause, and P ('that it would affect the investigation process') must close the sentence. Hence the answer is C.
