the function of the capillaries (P) and other material to all the cells in (Q) is to take nutrients, oxygen (R) the body and to take away their waste material (S) The correct sequence should be:
- (a)PRQS
- (b)RPQS
- (c)SPQR
- (d)QRPS
Correct — A, PRQS. P is the subject ('the function of the capillaries'); R gives the verb and start of the list ('is to take nutrients, oxygen'); Q continues it ('and other material to all the cells in'); and S completes it ('the body and to take away their waste material'). Read in order PRQS it becomes 'The function of the capillaries is to take nutrients, oxygen and other material to all the cells in the body and to take away their waste material.'
- (b)RPQS — 'Is to take nutrients...' cannot begin the sentence; the verb 'is' needs its subject 'the function of the capillaries' (P) before it.
- (c)SPQR — Opening with 'the body and to take away...' strands a phrase that belongs at the very end.
- (d)QRPS — 'And other material...' is a mid-list continuation and cannot lead the sentence.
A sentence-rearrangement item — the subject noun phrase ('the function of the capillaries') opens the sentence, then the verb 'is' and the list of what capillaries carry follow in order.
