My father retired at the age of 68,
P. where he had served,
Q. in South Carolina
R. as Pastor for 12 years,
S. from a Baptist Church
- APRSQ
- BSQPR
- CSPQR
- DQPRS
Explanation
S tells what he retired from - 'from a Baptist Church'. Q locates it - 'in South Carolina'. P's 'where he had served' needs that place as its antecedent, so QP is locked together. R adds his role - 'as Pastor for 12 years'. Putting the church last or separating 'where' from 'South Carolina' breaks the reference. Hence SQPR, option B, is correct.
