After reading the letter
P. of the absurd ideas of his brother
Q. and told the friends around him
R. an uncontrollable fit of laughter
S. he burst into
The proper sequence should be
P. of the absurd ideas of his brother
Q. and told the friends around him
R. an uncontrollable fit of laughter
S. he burst into
The proper sequence should be
- PQSR
- SRQP
- PSRQ
- SRPQ
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - SRQP
After reading the letter, he burst into (S) an uncontrollable fit of laughter (R) and told the friends around him (Q) of the absurd ideas of his brother (P). 'Told someone of something' needs P after Q, and 'a fit of laughter of the absurd ideas' is not grammatical, so the sequence is SRQP.
