Rearrange the segments P, Q, R and S to form a coherent sentence, then choose the correct order. (P) flight, and each person (Q) her own journey (R) life is a solo (S) makes his or
- (a)SPRQ
- (b)RPQS
- (c)RPSQ
- (d)PQRS
Correct — C, RPSQ. Reading R-P-S-Q gives 'Life is a solo flight, and each person makes his or her own journey.' R is the first clause 'life is a solo', P completes it with 'flight' and joins a second subject 'and each person', S is the verb 'makes his or', and Q closes with the object 'her own journey'.
- (a)SPRQ — S ('makes his or') is a bare verb fragment and cannot open the sentence; the first clause R 'life is a solo' must lead.
- (b)RPQS — It puts the object Q ('her own journey') before the verb S ('makes his or'), giving 'each person her own journey makes his or' — the verb must precede its object.
- (d)PQRS — P ('flight, and each person') begins mid-phrase with the noun 'flight' and no subject-verb before it; the clause R 'life is a solo' is needed first.
A sentence-ordering item with two clauses joined by 'and', where the verb 'makes' must come before its object 'her own journey'.
