Rearrange the segments P, Q, R and S to form a coherent sentence, then choose the correct order. (P) very difficult (Q) the poor visibility (R) made the movement of traffic (S) due to fog
- (a)SPRQ
- (b)RQPS
- (c)QRPS
- (d)QSRP
Correct — D, QSRP. Reading Q-S-R-P gives 'The poor visibility due to fog made the movement of traffic very difficult.' Q is the subject 'the poor visibility', S ('due to fog') sits right beside it to explain what caused it, R is the verb-and-object 'made the movement of traffic', and P is the complement 'very difficult' that R takes.
- (a)SPRQ — S ('due to fog') is a causal phrase and cannot open the sentence; the subject Q must come first.
- (b)RQPS — R ('made the movement of traffic') is a bare predicate and cannot begin the sentence — there is no subject before the verb 'made'.
- (c)QRPS — It reads without a grammatical error, but detaching S ('due to fog') to the very end lets it float ambiguously toward 'difficult'; the official ordering keeps 'due to fog' next to 'the poor visibility' it directly explains, so QSRP is the cleaner, intended sequence.
A sentence-ordering item where the cause phrase 'due to fog' is kept adjacent to the subject 'the poor visibility' it explains.
