Answer 1

Hint: A sentence may be defined as a group of words that makes complete sense. There are four kinds of sentences – Assertive or Declarative sentences, Imperative sentences, Exclamatory sentences and Interrogative sentences.

Complete answer:
Sentence reordering concentrates on the sorting of a few jumbled sentences or words. Sentence reordering is also known by different names like rearranging of words, rearranging sentences jumbled words, word order exercises, make a sentence with the word, put the words in the correct order to make sentences, sentence order and sentence formation. To rearrange a jumbled sentence into correct order, use this format - subject + functioning verb + preposition + object.

Let us analyze the given options:
Option A) RPSQ: The above option is correct as here the subject is ‘Everyone’ and the phrase which describes it, ‘who knows you’ follows the subject immediately and then follows the part containing the verb ‘acknowledges’. The next part answers the question ‘What does everyone acknowledge?’ which is ‘that you have been wronged’ followed by the clause ‘when he considers this case calmly’.

Option B) RPQS: The above option is incorrect as here the subject is ‘who knows you’ which makes the adjoining parts improper and nonsensical.

Option C) PQRS: The above option is incorrect as here the subject is ‘acknowledges’ which is a verb. Thus, the whole reordering makes no sense.

Option D) QRPS: The above option is incorrect as here the subject is ‘when he considers this case calmly’ correct but the adjoining parts make no sense and the whole sentence structure will be grammatically wrong.

Therefore the correct answer is option ‘A’.

Note: To rearrange jumbled words into correct order to make a meaningful sentence:
- For statements: subject + functioning verb + (preposition) object. Statements are called affirmatives. Cats (subject) climb (verb) onto (preposition) trees (object).
- For questions (interrogatives): Yes or no answer questions— verb + subject + (preposition) object.
Ex: Did (verb) you (subject) climb upon (preposition) a tree? (Object)
‘Wh’ or ‘how’ questions — ‘wh’ or ‘how’ interrogative word + verb + subject +(preposition) object.
Ex: Why (interrogative word) do (verb) you (subject) climb up (preposition) the tree (object)?
- For orders, request & suggestions: verb+ (preposition) object.
Ex: Climb (verb) onto (preposition) the tree (object).
