Grammar: Formation of Sentence

Question:

Read the following sentences and re-arrange them accordingly


The house
(P) about half a mile distant
(Q) that stands in front of us
(R) was built of stones
(S) which were dug out of its own site

Options:

QSPR

QRPS

QPRS

QRSP

Correct Answer:

QPRS

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3. QPRS.

The house that stands in front of us about half a mile distant was built of stones which were dug out of its own site.

Let us break down the arrangement "QPRS":

Q: This starts the sentence by identifying the subject, which is "the house that stands in front of us."

P: Following "Q," this segment provides additional information about the location of the house, specifying that it is "about half a mile distant."

R: Next, "R" describes a key characteristic of the house - it was built of stones.

S: Finally, "S" elaborates on where the stones used for building the house came from - they were dug out of its own site.

So, when arranged as "QPRS," the sentence flows logically from identifying the subject and its location to describing its construction materials and the source of those materials.
