Each of the following items in this section consists of a sentence, the parts of which have been jumbled. These parts have been labelled as P, Q, R and S. Each sentence is followed by four sequences, namely (a), (b), (c) and (d), indicating the rearrangement of the parts. You are required to select the most appropriate option and mark your response on the Answer Sheet accordingly.
The dentist
P. with a severe tooth-ache
Q. when he was brought to hospital
R. extracted Manish’s tooth
S. and relieved his pain
- APQRS
- BQPRS
- CRSPQ
- DRQPS
Explanation
R supplies the main verb - 'The dentist extracted Manish's tooth' - so it must come first. Q's 'when he was brought to hospital' gives the time of the extraction ('he' is Manish). P gives the reason - 'with a severe tooth-ache'. S closes the episode - 'and relieved his pain'. The alternatives either make the dentist the tooth-ache sufferer or strand the 'when' clause. Hence RQPS, option D, is correct.
