Answer 1

Answer: (E)

In this question, we are required to arrange the jumbled parts of a sentence into a meaningful and coherent sequence. Let's examine each part:

• P: In the middle of one side of the
• Q: Who is the most important
• R: Square sits the Chairman of the committee
• S: Person in the room

To solve this, we need to determine which part logically follows the other. Let's analyze the structure:

1. First part (P): 'In the middle of one side of the' sets the scene for where something is positioned. It needs a subsequent description to make complete sense, suggesting that part R ('Square sits the Chairman of the committee') should follow it since it completes the location and subject introduced in P.
2. Second part (R): 'Square sits the Chairman of the committee' follows after P, as it completes the location description initiated by P.
3. Third part (Q): 'Who is the most important' begins a new clause. It logically describes someone, and in this context, it would refer to the Chairman mentioned in R.
4. Fourth part (S): 'Person in the room' completes the relative clause started by Q, concluding the sentence with a description of the significance of the Chairman.

The correct arrangement of the sentence is therefore PRQS. The sentence reads: "In the middle of one side of the square sits the Chairman of the committee, who is the most important person in the room."

This arrangement is coherent and completes the narrative structure logically.
