EnglishOrdering of Words in a Sentence
- AS P R Q
- BR S Q P
- CS Q P R
- DQ P S R
Explanation
The only coherent assembly is S Q P R: 'A little girl was about to be run over by a speeding car; a boy saved her at the risk of his life.' S opens with the girl in danger, Q ('by a speeding car') completes the threat, P ('a boy saved her') gives the rescue, and R ('at the risk of his life') closes with the circumstance. Hence the answer is C.
