Each of the following items in this section consists of a sentence, parts of which have been jumbled. These parts have been labeled as P, Q, R, and S. You are required to re-arrange the jumbled parts of the sentence and mark your responses.
crushing over each other (A)/ to the airport (B)/ yesterday, we went (C)/ and saw many people (D)
A. CBAD
B. BCDA
C. CBDA
D. CABD
E. None of the above/More than one of the above.

The correct answer is ‘CBDA.’
While arranging the parts of the sentence given in options, we have to find some grammatical or contextual connections between them so let’s find out.
In this sentence, we can see that there are different parts like Subject, verb, preposition, noun, conjunction.
Therefore, the sequence of words that should be followed is: Subject + verb (C+ B) + prepositionl (B) + conjunction (D) + preposition2 (A).
Thus, the correct order is ‘CBDA.’
Correct sentence: Yesterday, we went to the airport and saw many people crushing over each other.

The question below consists of a set of labeled sentences. Out of the four options given, select the most logical order of the sentences to form a coherent paragraph.
P: human life is a tale of errors and follies,
Q: we all commit errors and mistakes out of ignorance or inexperience,
R: nobody is infallible
S: in the process of acquiring experience, man often stumbles and falls down.
A. PRQS
B. PSQR
C. RSPQ
D. PQRS

The correct answer is ‘PRQS’
Sentence P will be the first sentence of the sequence because it tells about the story of human life.
Sentence R will come after P because it mentions humans make mistakes, errors, etc., or capable of making mistakes or being wrong.
Sentence Q will come after R because it is explaining while gaining experience, all human makes mistakes, errors, etc. and learn from their experience.
The sentence ‘S’ is the concluding part because it is concluding that every human being makes errors and mistakes due to a lack of knowledge and experience.
Hence, ‘S’ makes the last part.

P entered the shop
Q of a theatrical company
R the invisible man
S for clothes
A. PQSR
B. QSRP

The correct answer is RPQS
We need to find the grammatical or contextual connections between the parts to find the correct sequence.
Part R contains an adjective and a noun.
o It can be used as the subject.
o It is the first part of the sentence.
Part P starts with a verb.
o It will become the second part of the sentence.
Part P ends with ‘a shop’. Part Q starts with ‘of a’.
o It shows belongingness
o It will become the third part of the sentence.
Part S is the concluding part.
Thus the correct sequence is RPQS.

R: an exhibition was organized
S: by the district authorities
A. RQSP
B. PRQS
C. RSPQ
D. QRPS

The correct answer is ‘RSPQ’
By carefully reading all the statements we can conclude that the topic is about an exhibition.
Sentence R is acting as an introductory statement because it is telling us that an exhibition was organized.
Therefore, Sentence R will come first.
The next sentence will be S because it is telling us who organized the exhibition.
The third sentence will be P because the usage of ‘to’ is telling us the purpose of organizing the exhibition.
‘Of in the sentence P means about; relating to.
Therefore the last sentence will be Q because it is telling us that the development is related to the cottage industries.
Hence, the correct order is ‘RSPQ
