Question and options
Directions: In this question, there is a sentence of which some parts have been jumbled up. Rearrange these parts which are labelled P, Q, R and S to produce the correct sentence. Choose the proper sequence.
It has been established that
P: Einstein was
Q: although a great scientist
R: weak in arithmetic
S: right from his school days
The proper sequence should be
P: Einstein was
Q: although a great scientist
R: weak in arithmetic
S: right from his school days
The proper sequence should be
- SRPQ
- QPRS
- RPQS
- RQPS
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - QPRS
The sentence reads: "It has been established that although a great scientist (Q) Einstein was (P) weak in arithmetic (R) right from his school days (S)", giving QPRS. The concessive phrase "although a great scientist" must come before the subject it describes, and "right from his school days" completes "weak in arithmetic", so it comes last.
