Rearrange the segments P, Q, R and S to form a coherent sentence, then choose the correct order. (P) please mark the same (Q) be made in response to this notice (R) if you have any complaint to (S) to the concerned authority
- (a)PQRS
- (b)RPQS
- (c)SQPR
- (d)RQPS
Correct — D, RQPS. Reading R-Q-P-S gives 'If you have any complaint to be made in response to this notice please mark the same to the concerned authority.' R opens the conditional 'if you have any complaint to', Q completes the passive infinitive 'be made in response to this notice', P is the imperative main clause, and S adds where to send it.
- (a)PQRS — P ('please mark the same') is the imperative main clause and cannot open the sentence; the 'if' condition R must set up the situation first, and 'the same' would have nothing to refer back to.
- (b)RPQS — It jumps from R to the imperative P before finishing 'complaint to be made...', breaking the phrase into 'if you have any complaint to please mark the same', which is ungrammatical.
- (c)SQPR — S ('to the concerned authority') is a directional phrase and cannot open the sentence; the conditional clause R must lead.
A sentence-ordering item where an 'if' conditional clause is completed before the imperative main clause and its destination phrase.
