NDA (I) 2024 General Ability Test · Question 31 of 146

Correct — A, QSPR. Reading Q-S-P-R gives 'The fundamental rights are basic rights and include basic freedoms guaranteed to the individual.' Q opens by naming the subject with its linking verb, S completes the complement, P continues the compound predicate that S sets up with 'and', and R closes with the qualifying phrase describing those freedoms.

• (b)QRSP — Q opens correctly, but slotting R ('guaranteed to the individual') straight after the verb 'are' breaks the 'are basic rights' complement link — S's 'basic rights and' must directly complete 'the fundamental rights are'. R is the closing qualifier and belongs last, not second.
• (c)SQRP — Opens with S ('basic rights and'), a bare complement fragment carrying a dangling 'and' and no subject. The subject-plus-verb segment Q ('the fundamental rights are') must open the sentence, not sit second.
• (d)RQSP — Opens with R ('guaranteed to the individual'), a past-participle phrase that cannot begin the sentence. It drops the subject Q to second place, so the sentence has no grammatical starting point.

A sentence-ordering item where the subject 'the fundamental rights are' must come first and the trailing 'and' in S signals that another predicate (P) follows.
