Correct answer: D. dabc
Explanation:
Part D: “often, car-pooling is confused with ad-hoc sharing of rides,”
Introduction:
The sentence starts with “often, car-pooling is confused with ad-hoc sharing of rides,” setting the context for the issue being discussed.
Rule: The introduction of the subject and the main problem usually comes first in the sentence to establish what the sentence will address.
Part A: “with the effect that incentives of participants are not aligned with some treating it”
Cause and Effect:
Next, we explain the outcome of the confusion — “with the effect that incentives of participants are not aligned with some treating it.” This part explains the consequence of the misunderstanding.
Rule: After setting up the context, we often follow with the effects or outcomes of the situation.
Part B: “as a shuttle service and others as an unnecessary drag on their time and resources,”
Specific Detail:
Then, we specify how car-pooling is perceived by different participants — “as a shuttle service and others as an unnecessary drag on their time and resources.”
Rule: After explaining the general consequence, we provide more detailed information about the differing perceptions or views.
Part C: “scuttling the sustainability of car-pooling in that organization”
Conclusion/Final Impact:
Finally, we conclude with the final impact of the issue — “scuttling the sustainability of car-pooling in that organization.”
Rule: The final part often summarizes the ultimate result or impact of the situation being discussed.
Additional Notes:
• The sequence dabc logically introduces the problem, explains its consequences, details the differing perceptions, and concludes with the final impact on the organization.
• The other options do not follow a coherent or natural order.

Correct answer: C. RSPQ
The sentence is:
An exhibition was organized by the district authorities to encourage the development of cottage industries in the village.
Explanation:
Part R: “an exhibition was organized”
Main Clause: This introduces the subject and the main action of the sentence.
Part S: “by the district authorities”
Prepositional Phrase: This specifies who organized the exhibition.
Part P: “to encourage the development of”
Infinitive Phrase: This explains the purpose of organizing the exhibition.
Part Q: “cottage industries in the village”
Object/Complement: This completes the infinitive phrase by specifying what was to be encouraged.
Additional Notes:
• The sequence RSPQ flows logically, starting with the main action, followed by the doer, the purpose, and the object of that purpose.
• Other sequences either break the logical flow or place parts in an unnatural order.
Manoj said that P : those persons Q : would be damned R : who do not obey S : God’s commands The Proper sequence should be: A. PQRS B. PRSQ C. QPRS D. RSPQ
Correct answer: B. PRSQ
Explanation:
Part P: “Manoj said that”
Introduction/Reporting Action:
The sentence starts with “Manoj said that,” which introduces the speech or statement being reported.
Rule: The reporting phrase usually comes first to set the context for what is being said.
Part R: “who do not obey”
Main Condition:
Next, we introduce the condition or group of people being referred to — “who do not obey.”
Rule: After introducing the statement, we describe the specific condition or group to which the statement applies.
Part S: “God’s commands”
Clarification/Specific Detail:
Then, we specify what the group of people is disobeying — “God’s commands.”
Rule: After explaining the condition, it’s natural to follow with the specific object or concept involved (in this case, God’s commands).
Part Q: “would be damned”
Outcome:
Finally, we state the consequence or result for those who do not obey — “would be damned.”
Rule: After describing the group and what they are doing, we conclude with the result or outcome.
Additional Notes:
• The sequence PRSQ logically builds the sentence by first stating who is being referred to, what they are doing, and then explaining the consequence.
• The other options do not present the thoughts in a coherent or grammatically correct order.
1 : If you are serious about P : vocabulary building not a hobby, Q : you will have to make R : an absorbing interest, S : increasing your vocabulary, 6 : or even an obsession. The Proper sequence should be: A. PQSR B. PRQS C. RQPS D. SQPR
Correct answer: D. SQPR
The sentence is:
If you are serious about increasing your vocabulary, vocabulary building not a hobby, you will have to make an absorbing interest, or even an obsession.
Explanation:
Part S: “increasing your vocabulary,”
This follows the opening clause “If you are serious about” and specifies what you are serious about.
Part Q: “you will have to make”
This introduces the main action or requirement.
Part P: “vocabulary building not a hobby,”
This clarifies what vocabulary building should be considered as.
Part R: “an absorbing interest,”
This specifies what you must make it — an absorbing interest.
Additional Notes:
• The sequence SQPR flows logically, starting with the topic, followed by the action, the clarification, and the final description.
• Other sequences either break the logical flow or place parts in an unnatural order.
1 : If evil consisted P : men would be drawn to virtue Q : but, alas! how many know their duty R : merely in ignorance S : as soon as it was explained to them 6 : and yet do not do it. The Proper sequence should be: A. RPQS B. RPSQ C. RSPQ D. SPRQ
Correct answer: B. RPSQ
The sentence is:
If evil consisted merely in ignorance, men would be drawn to virtue as soon as it was explained to them, but, alas! how many know their duty and yet do not do it.
Explanation:
Part R: “merely in ignorance”
This completes the opening clause “If evil consisted” by explaining what evil would consist of.
Part P: “men would be drawn to virtue”
This states the result of the condition, showing what would happen if evil were merely ignorance.
Part S: “as soon as it was explained to them”
This adds a time condition to the result, specifying when men would be drawn to virtue.
Part Q: “but, alas! how many know their duty”
This introduces a contrast to the previous idea and is followed by the final part.
Additional Notes:
• The sequence RPSQ flows logically, starting with the condition, followed by the result, the time clause, and the contrasting reality.
• Other sequences either break the logical flow or place parts in an unnatural order.
I have never met P : a friendliness and hospitality Q : in your city, R : like the one S : I have met 6 : Calcutta. The Proper sequence should be: A. PQRS B. PRSQ C. PSRQ D. QPRS
Correct answer: B. PRSQ
The sentence is:
I have never met a friendliness and hospitality like the one I have met in your city, Calcutta.
Explanation:
Connecting the Front Anchor (I have never met):
The introductory phrase needs a direct object to show what or who the speaker has never met. Part P (“a friendliness and hospitality”) provides that compound noun object.
The Comparison Link (R):
The sentence sets up a comparison between general experiences and a specific city. Part R (“like the one”) provides the comparative link right after the nouns.
Completing the Relative Clause (S):
The phrase “like the one” requires a defining relative clause. Part S (“I have met”) fills this role perfectly (“…like the one I have met…”).
The Prepositional Wrap-up (Q ➔ 6):
Part Q (“in your city,”) ends with a comma and seamlessly sets up a direct comparison to the final fixed anchor, 6 (“Calcutta.”).
When fully assembled in the sequence P ➔ R ➔ S ➔ Q, the sentence flows naturally and grammatically:
“I have never met a friendliness and hospitality like the one I have met in your city, Calcutta.”
There was P : needed for its everyday life Q : a time when each family R : for itself most of the things it S : actually produced The Proper sequehce should be: A. QRSP B. QSRP C. RQPS D. RSPQ
Correct answer: B. QSRP
Explanation:
Part Q: “a time when each family”
Introduction:
The sentence begins with “a time when each family,” setting the time and subject. This sets the stage for what is being described.
Rule: Starting with the context and subject helps frame the rest of the sentence.
Part S: “actually produced”
Action:
Next, we introduce what the family did during that time — “actually produced.”
Rule: After setting the context, we follow with the main action or activity, in this case, producing something.
Part R: “for itself most of the things it”
Clarification:
Then, we clarify what was produced — “for itself most of the things it.”
Rule: After explaining the action, we provide more details on what was produced, emphasizing that it was for the family.
Part P: “needed for its everyday life”
Final Explanation:
Finally, we conclude by specifying why the family produced things — “needed for its everyday life.”
Rule: The explanation of purpose typically comes at the end, explaining why the action occurred.
Additional Notes:
• The sequence QSRP logically flows from introducing the time, explaining what families did, clarifying what was produced, and ending with the purpose of the production.
• The other options do not maintain a smooth or natural sequence.

Rule: After the speaker and the action, we present what was said.
Part P: “for the mother to leave”
Explanation:
We then provide an explanation of what the little girl thought was not right — “for the mother to leave.”
Rule: The explanation or reasoning follows the opinion or statement made.
Part R: “little children on their own”
Clarification:
Finally, we clarify why it wasn’t right — “little children on their own.” This indicates the concern the little girl has regarding being left alone.
Rule: Additional details or clarifications about the statement are often placed at the end.
Additional Notes:
• The sequence QSPR creates a meaningful sentence, logically presenting the speaker, her opinion, the reason behind the opinion, and the final clarification.
1 : They’re mostly people P : and they find the club very convenient, Q : to get a reasonable meal R : who works in the neighborhood S : because it enables them 6 : without too muh trouble. The Proper sequence should be: A. PQRS B. QPRS C. RPSQ D. SQRP
Correct answer: C. RPSQ
Explanation:
Part R: “who works in the neighborhood”

The sentence starts with “who works in the neighborhood”, specifying who is being referred to — people working in the neighborhood.
Rule: It’s common to start with the subject and a defining characteristic (who they are or where they work).
Part P: “They’re mostly people”
Main Statement:
Next, we introduce “They’re mostly people,” which provides more context about the group of people referred to in Part R.
Rule: After introducing the defining characteristic, the main statement about who they are follows.
Part S: “because it enables them”
Explanation:
We follow with “because it enables them”, explaining why these people find the club convenient.
Rule: After providing the main idea, it’s common to explain the reason behind it.
Part Q: “to get a reasonable meal”
Purpose/Outcome:
Finally, we conclude with “to get a reasonable meal”, specifying the benefit or outcome of the convenience — getting a meal without trouble.
Rule: The specific result or purpose typically comes at the end.
Additional Notes:
• The sequence RPSQ logically introduces the group of people, explains the convenience they find, and concludes with the specific benefit.
• The other options disrupt the natural flow of the sentence.
Arrange the jumbled words or phrases to make a meaningful sentence or a part of the sentence. 1 : On reaching the station P : he first looked around Q : and when he could find none R : he just lifted his luggage S : for a coolie 6 : and walked down to the platform. The Proper sequence should be: A. PSQR B. QRPS C. RPSQ D. SQRP
Correct answer: A. PSQR
Explanation:
Part P: “he first looked around”
Action:
The sentence starts with “he first looked around,” which describes the first action the person took upon reaching the station.
Rule: After the introductory phrase, we explain what the person did next.
Part S: “for a coolie”
Reason for the Action:
Next, we explain “for a coolie” — the reason why he looked around. He was searching for a coolie (a porter).
Rule: After describing the action, we specify what he was looking for.
Part Q: “and when he could find none”
Outcome/Condition:
Then, we introduce the outcome of the search — “and when he could find none.” This part shows that he did not find a coolie.
Rule: After explaining the action and the search, we describe the result of his search.
Part R: “he just lifted his luggage”
Action after the Outcome:
Finally, we describe what the person did after not finding a coolie — “he just lifted his luggage.”
Rule: After explaining the condition (not finding a coolie), we describe the next logical action the person took.
Additional Notes:
• The sequence PSQR logically introduces the action, explains the reason, describes the result of the search, and concludes with what the person did afterward.
• The other options do not maintain the correct order for the sentence to make sense.
