                            P Q R S
The correct sequence should be:
a) RPSQ
b) QSPR
c) PRSQ
d) SRPQ

Answer 1

Hint: A sentence is a string of words satisfying the grammatical rules of a language. Every meaningful sentence follows the rules of grammar.

Complete answer:
Let us thus analyze the options given to us in this question:
Option (a.), 'RPSQ', refers to the sentence- The wings of some birds are so small that they are useless for flying.
Therefore, option (a.) is correct as it follows the correct grammatical order = Subject+ verb+ indirect object +predicate + subject of subordinating clause + predicate of the subordinating clause.

Option (b.), ‘QSPR', refers to the sentence- The wings useless for that they are are so small of birds.
Therefore, option (b.) is incorrect as it does not follow the correct grammatical order of words.

Option (c.), ‘PRSQ', refers to the sentence- The wings are so small of some birds that they are useless for flying.
Therefore, option (c.) is incorrect as it does not follow the correct grammatical order of words.

Option (d.), ‘SRPQ', refers to the sentence- The wings that they are of some birds are so small useless for flying.
Therefore, option (d.) is incorrect as it does not follow the correct grammatical order of words.

Note: In this type of question, the students have to rearrange the sentence segments such that they all together form a meaningful sentence by satisfying the grammatical order of words (by following grammar rules).
