Answer 1

Hint: Separate the question into subject, verb, and object format.

Complete step-by-step answer:

 Sentences follow a certain structure. This structure ensures that the sentence makes sense. A sentence that does not make sense is of no use to its reader. Sentences that are sensible and follow a perfect structure are known as coherent sentences. Coherence is an important function of a sentence that gives a language its credibility.

The most basic form of sentence formation is Subject+ Verb + Object (S.V.O). This S.V.O pattern divides the sentence into its components and gives us a sound structure to follow.

Let us look at an example

Cat the milk drinks.
The cat is the subject.
Drinks are the verb.
Milk is the object.
This gives us the sentence, the cat drinks milk.

Let us look at our given question and try to separate it accordingly

Subject	Verb Phrase	Object
The spirit of man	has slowly and painfully surmounted	all the obstacles that have come in his way
His growing intelligence	has faced	all kinds of dangers

Now that we have separated the components of our question, they seem to make some sense.

As there are two sentences within the question, we will connect them with the conjunction ‘and’ which is also a part of the question.

Now let us arrange these components with their corresponding letters. Their order is as follows: P R Q S. Therefore, Option D is the answer.

Note: Read your final answer carefully to ensure that it makes sense.
