Question

In the following question, a sentence is divided into four parts (P,Q,R,S). Rearrange it in the proper sequence in order to make a meaningful sentence.
P: the World Wars fought in the past
Q: stand testimony to the fact
R: severe human suffering
S: that fighting wars brings

• A. PQSR
• B. PQRS
• C. PSQR
• D. PSRQ

Hint:

Pay attention to grammatical markers. The phrase "the fact" is almost always followed by a "that"-clause that explains what the fact is. This is a powerful clue for ordering the sentence parts.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding the Task
The goal is to arrange the four given parts to form a meaningful sentence about the consequences of war.

Step 2: Finding the Logical Flow


Part P introduces the subject of the sentence: "the World Wars fought in the past".

Part Q provides the verb for this subject: "...stand testimony to the fact". This forms a strong opening pair, P-Q.

The phrase "the fact" must be explained by a clause, which typically starts with "that". Part S provides this clause: "that fighting wars brings...". So, S must follow Q. The sequence is now P-Q-S.

"Brings" is a transitive verb that needs an object. Part R, "severe human suffering", serves as the object of "brings". Therefore, R must follow S.


Step 3: Constructing the Final Sentence
The complete sentence reads: "The World Wars fought in the past stand testimony to the fact that fighting wars brings severe human suffering."

Step 4: Final Answer
The correct and logical sequence is PQSR. Therefore, option (A) is the correct answer.
