ANSWER: 3, 2, 4, 1
Explanation: Science is simply the common sense at its best.
The order of remaining options (a, b, c) cannot make a meaningful sentence.
In the question below, there is a sentence with jumbled-up parts. Rearrange these parts, which are labeled A, B, C and D to produce the correct sentence. Choose the proper sequence. A. She saw her opportunity B. to make amends C. when he came to her home D. to borrow some sugar. A. bcda B. bcad C. adbc D. abcd
Correct sequence is adbc.
Explanation:
• A. She saw her opportunity: This establishes the initial action. She recognizes a chance to act.
• D. to borrow some sugar: This clarifies the reason he came to her home.
• C. when he came to her home: This sets the context for the opportunity.
• B. to make amends: This explains her motivation for seizing the opportunity. Why other options are incorrect:
bcda: This puts the reason for his visit before the opportunity she saw, which doesn’t make logical sense.
bcad: This starts with the reason for borrowing sugar, which doesn’t flow logically into the opportunity she saw.
abcd: This places the opportunity after the reason for his visit and before the context, creating an awkward sequence.
The Proper sequence should be: 1 : What we would like to judge P : in this comprehension exercise,
Q : the difficult words, phrases and sentence fragments R : and also the meanings of S : is your grasp of the content 6 : that constitute the paragraph. The Proper sequence should be: A. PSRQ B. QPSR C. RQPS D. SRQP
Correct Answer: A. PSRQ
Explanation: Part P: “in this comprehension exercise”
Contextual Information (Setting the Scene):
The sentence starts with contextual information, telling us where the judgment applies. The phrase “in this comprehension exercise” sets the stage for what is being discussed.
Rule: The context or setting usually comes at the beginning of the sentence to introduce what is being discussed, and it helps frame the rest of the sentence.
Example:
• “In this article, we will explore the impact of technology.”
• “In this session, we will focus on grammar rules.”
Part S: “is your grasp of the content”
Subject and Main Verb (What is being judged):
After setting the context, we move to the subject and verb of the sentence. The subject here is “your grasp of the content”, and the verb is “is”. This tells us exactly what is being judged: the understanding of the content.
Rule: After the context is established, the subject and the main verb come next to define what is being evaluated.
Example:
• “The focus of this exam is your ability to analyze the text.”
• “What we are judging is your presentation skills.”
Part R: “and also the meanings of”
Conjunction (Adding More Information):
The phrase “and also” is a conjunction that adds further information to the evaluation. The conjunction “and also” introduces additional aspects of the judgment, which in this case, is the evaluation of “the meanings of” certain words, phrases, and sentence fragments.
Rule: The conjunction “and” is used to link ideas together, and “also” adds further information. In a list of things being evaluated, we use this conjunction to link additional aspects.
Example:
• “We judge not only your writing skills but also your ability to present your ideas clearly.”
• “The evaluation includes grammar and also vocabulary usage.”
Part Q: “the difficult words, phrases, and sentence fragments”
Specific Details (What exactly is being evaluated):
The phrase “the difficult words, phrases, and sentence fragments” specifies what exactly is being evaluated. These are the specific components of the content that are being tested.
Rule: After introducing the subject, verb, and general description, we usually follow with specific details that clarify what is being examined.
Example:
• “The exam will test your understanding of vocabulary, sentence structure, and reading comprehension.”
• “The assessment will focus on punctuation, spelling, and grammar rules.”
Final Sentence:
“What we would like to judge is your grasp of the content, and also the meanings of the difficult words, phrases, and sentence fragments in this comprehension exercise.”
It was true that P : the pet dog Q : would never sleep anywhere R : we once had S : except on the sofa The Proper sequence should be: A. PQSR B. PRQS C. RPQS D. SPQR
Correct Answer: B. PRQS
The correct sequence is PRQS because:
• P introduces the subject (the pet dog),
• R gives the context (we once had the dog),
• Q explains the behavior of the dog (would never sleep anywhere),
• S specifies the location (except on the sofa). Final Sentence:
“It was true that the pet dog we once had would never sleep anywhere except on the sofa.”
In the question below, there is a sentence with jumbled up parts. Rearrange these parts, which are labelled A, B, C and D to produce the correct sentence. Choose the proper sequence. A. I wanted to tell her B. not to talk to him C. not listen to me. D. but she would A. abcd B. abdc C. adbc D. bcad
Correct answer: B. abdc
Explanation: Part A: “I wanted to tell her”
Subject and Action:
The sentence starts with “I wanted to tell her,” which introduces the speaker’s intention to communicate something to her.
Rule: The subject (“I”) and the verb (“wanted to tell”) come first, establishing the action the speaker wants to perform. Part B: “not to talk to him”
Direct Object/Message:
Next, we describe what the speaker wanted to tell her — “not to talk to him.”
Rule: After the subject and action, the content of the message or instruction is stated. Part D: “but she would”
Contrast:
“but she would” introduces a contrast to the speaker’s intention, showing that despite the request, she did something else.
Rule: The contrasting part typically follows the initial statement to show what happened differently from what was expected. Part C: “not listen to me.”
Main Action:
Finally, we explain what she actually did — “not listen to me.”
Rule: The sentence concludes by explaining the result of the action or the behavior being contrasted. Final Sentence:
“I wanted to tell her not to talk to him, but she would not listen to me.”
The Proper sequence should be: A. The CEO B. of making the right decision C. was not scared D. despite a loss in profits A. abcd B. abdc C. acbd D. bcda
Correct Answer: C. acbd Start with “A” (“The CEO”)
The sentence begins with “The CEO”, which is the subject of the sentence. It introduces who is being talked about.
Example:
“The CEO…” Next, use “C” (“was not scared”)
After introducing the subject, we describe what the CEO did. The phrase “was not scared” tells us the state of the CEO.
Example:
“The CEO was not scared…” Then, use “B” (“of making the right decision”)
The phrase “of making the right decision” explains why the CEO was not scared. It shows the reason the CEO was confident — because he made the right decision.
Example:
“The CEO was not scared of making the right decision…” Finally, use “D” (“despite a loss in profits”)
The phrase “despite a loss in profits” provides the condition under which the CEO remained unscared. This is the contrast that adds depth to the sentence.
Example:
“The CEO was not scared of making the right decision, despite a loss in profits.” Final Sentence:
“The CEO was not scared of making the right decision, despite a loss in profits.”
