EnglishOrdering of Words in a Sentence
- AR S P Q
- BS R Q P
- CR P S Q
- DS P R Q
Explanation
The only coherent assembly is S P R Q: 'not merely a biological being confined to his physical and material needs.' S ('not merely') must open the negation, P ('a biological being') gives the noun, R ('confined to') is the participial modifier, and Q ('his physical and material needs') completes it. Hence the answer is D.
