Grammar: Formation of Sentence

Question:

Rearrange the following into correct sentence:
We
(P) agreed with
(Q) the manner in which you said it
(R) but we objected to
(S) what you said

Options:

PSRQ

SPRQ

SPQR

PSQR

Correct Answer:

PSRQ

Explanation:

The correct answer is option  1. PSRQ

We agreed with what you said but we objected to the manner in which you said it.

Let's break down the arrangement "PSRQ":

P: This starts the sentence by introducing the subject - "We."

S: Following "P," this segment specifies the action taken by "We" - "but we objected to."

R: Next, "R" adds detail to the objection - "the manner in which you said it."

Q: Finally, "Q" concludes the sentence by specifying the object of the objection - "what you said."

So, when arranged as "PSRQ," the sentence flows logically from introducing the subject to describing the action taken and the reason for it.
