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 Himalayas along with other Peninsular
Q: mountains are young, weak and flexible in their
R: geological structure unlike the rigid and
S: stable Peninsular Block

• A. QRSP
• B. QRPS
• C. PQRS
• D. PSQR

Hint:

To solve complex sentence rearrangements, focus on completing phrases. "Peninsular" in P needs "mountains" from Q. "Flexible in their" in Q needs "geological structure" from R. "Rigid and" in R needs "stable" from S. Linking these incomplete phrases will reveal the correct order.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the Task
The goal is to arrange the four parts to form a meaningful sentence comparing the Himalayas to the Peninsular Block.

Step 2: Finding the Logical Flow


Part P starts forming the subject of the sentence: "the Himalayas along with other Peninsular". This phrase is incomplete.

Part Q completes the subject ("Peninsular mountains") and provides the main verb ("are") and predicate adjectives ("young, weak and flexible in their..."). Thus, P-Q forms a cohesive unit: "the Himalayas along with other Peninsular mountains are young, weak and flexible in their...".

"Flexible in their" needs an object. Part R provides this: "geological structure unlike the rigid and". This continues the description and introduces a comparison. The sequence is now P-Q-R.

The phrase "unlike the rigid and" needs to be completed. Part S, "stable Peninsular Block", completes this comparison, serving as the object of "unlike".


Step 3: Constructing the Final Sentence
The complete sentence reads: "The Himalayas along with other Peninsular mountains are young, weak and flexible in their geological structure unlike the rigid and stable Peninsular Block."

Step 4: Final Answer
The logical and grammatical sequence is PQRS. Therefore, option (C) is the correct answer.
