NDA (II) 2024 General Ability Test · Question 35 of 141

Correct — A, 'S R P Q'. 'India is the third largest' (S) needs the noun it ranks, which R supplies — 'fish producing and the second largest' — and P completes it with 'aquaculture nation in the world and'. The connector 'and' at the end of P links to the second independent clause Q ('India's products are exported to many nations'). S R P Q reads: 'India is the third largest fish producing and the second largest aquaculture nation in the world and India's products are exported to many nations.'

• (b)Q P R S — Opens with the second clause Q and strands the superlative subject 'India is the third largest' (S) at the very end.
• (c)R P Q S — Begins with 'fish producing and the second largest' (R), which has no subject, because the subject 'India is the third largest' (S) has been moved to the end.
• (d)P Q R S — Starts with the incomplete phrase 'aquaculture nation in the world and' (P) and never places the superlative subject S first.

A superlative phrase ('the third largest ...') must be followed by the noun it quantifies; a trailing 'and' signals that a second independent clause follows to close the sentence.
