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.

- AQSPR
- BPRQS
- CQPRS
- DQPSR
Explanation
Q continues the reported speech naturally - 'he'd rather go to'. P gives the destination - 'a small college'. S introduces the rejected alternative - 'instead of'. R states it - 'not studying at all'. The idiom is 'would rather X instead of Y', which only QPSR realises. Hence QPSR, option D, is correct.
