Each of the following items in this section consists of a sentence, parts of which have been jumbled. These parts have been labelled as P, Q, R and S. Given below each sentence are four sequences namely (a), (b), (c) and (d). You are required to re-arrange the jumbled parts of the sentence and mark your response accordingly.
P: can be invented
Q: it appears
R: has been invented
S: that all that
The correct sequence should be
- AQSPR
- BQRSP
- CRSQP
- DSPQR
Explanation
Q ('It appears') is the standard dummy-subject opener; S ('that all that') introduces the noun clause ('all that' = all the things). P ('can be invented') is the passive verb phrase of the relative clause, and R ('has been invented') is the main clause verb completing the parallel structure. This gives 'It appears that all that can be invented has been invented.' Hence (A) QSPR is correct.
