Question

Parts:
P: can offer meaningful solutions
Q: When examined carefully, even complex issues
R: rather than quick fixes
S: that address the root cause
Choose the correct order:

• A. QPSR
• B. QRPS
• C. QPRS
• D. QSRP

Hint:

To solve sentence arrangement questions, identify the introductory clause (often a condition or context) first, then look for connectors like that or rather than to link actions, descriptions, and contrasts. Test the sentence by reading it aloud to ensure it flows naturally.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The sentence needs to be rearranged into a coherent structure to convey a logical sequence. We have the following parts:

• P: can offer meaningful solutions
• Q: When examined carefully, even complex issues
• R: rather than quick fixes
• S: that address the root cause

Let's evaluate the provided options:

• QPSR: This sequence arranges the sentence as: "When examined carefully, even complex issues can offer meaningful solutions that address the root cause rather than quick fixes." This order logically connects complex issues with meaningful solutions addressing root causes, avoiding quick fixes.
• QRPS: This sequence forms: "When examined carefully, even complex issues rather than quick fixes can offer meaningful solutions that address the root cause." The phrase "rather than quick fixes" inaccurately comes right after "complex issues," making the sentence confusing.
• QPRS: This arrangement gives: "When examined carefully, even complex issues can offer meaningful solutions rather than quick fixes that address the root cause." While closer to logical flow, it incorrectly attaches "that address the root cause" to "quick fixes."
• QSRP: This sequence creates: "When examined carefully, even complex issues that address the root cause rather than quick fixes can offer meaningful solutions." Grammatically awkward, this option disrupts the flow by separating predicates from subjects they logically describe.

Thus, the correct logical order is QPSR, ensuring all sentence parts fit together seamlessly to emphasize tackling complex issues with thorough solutions rather than temporary fixes.
