NDA (II) 2025 General Ability Test · Question 42 of 147

Correct — A, the order Q P S R. Q supplies the main clause ('is an ineluctable truth that sporting activities are an integral part'); P completes the noun phrase 'an integral part of school education'; S adds the relative clause 'that underscores the learning process and contributes'; and R closes it with the adverbial 'meaningfully towards the overall growth of a student', giving 'contributes meaningfully towards the overall growth of a student'.

• (b)Q S R P — Ends with P ('of school education'), stranding it far from Q's 'an integral part' — the phrase 'an integral part... of school education' is severed and the sentence trails off with 'a student of school education'.
• (c)R P S Q — Opens with R ('meaningfully towards the overall growth of a student'), an adverbial fragment with no verb yet to modify; the main clause Q is buried at the end, so the sentence has no grammatical beginning.
• (d)Q S P R — Inserts S between 'an integral part' (Q) and 'of school education' (P), breaking the noun phrase and producing 'contributes of school education', which is ungrammatical.

A sentence-rearrangement item — order the four parts P, Q, R, S into a grammatical sentence, using the main clause, the noun phrase 'an integral part of...', and the closing adverbial as sequencing clues.

• practice — not a real PYQ

  In a jumbled sentence, the fragment 'of school education' must be placed —

  • (a)immediately after 'an integral part'
  • (b)at the very end of the sentence
  • (c)before the main verb
  • (d)as the opening fragment

  Answer(a) immediately after 'an integral part' — it completes the noun phrase 'an integral part of school education'.

• practice — not a real PYQ

  A fragment beginning with an adverb like 'meaningfully towards...' typically belongs —

  • (a)at the start of the sentence
  • (b)after the verb it modifies
  • (c)before the subject
  • (d)immediately after the opening 'that'

  Answer(b) after the verb it modifies — an adverbial completes 'contributes meaningfully towards...'.
