Correct — C, RSQP. In order the sentence reads 'Pandita Ramabai was truly remarkable (R) as a pioneer in women's education and (S) as a champion of women's rights, (Q) for which she fought till the end (P).' R holds the subject and the verb, S and Q are two parallel phrases of the 'as a' type joined by the 'and' printed at the end of S, and P is a relative clause attached to the rights just named.
- (a)SRQP — S ends on 'and', which must be followed by the second half of the pair, that is another phrase of the 'as a' type, and not by the subject of the sentence.
- (b)QPRS — This leaves S, which ends on a dangling 'and', at the very close of the sentence with nothing left for it to join.
- (d)PQRS — P opens with 'for which', a relative pronoun that needs an antecedent, but nothing has been named before it for the clause to refer back to.
A sentence-ordering item built on two parallel phrases of the 'as a' type followed by a relative clause.
Two printed marks do the work here. The 'and' at the end of S shows that a second phrase of the same shape must follow it, which can only be Q, and the words 'for which' at the start of P mark it as a relative clause, so P must come after the noun it points back to.
- Placing a part that ends in 'and' at the end of the sentence.
- Opening with a relative clause before its antecedent has appeared.
