Question

Rearrange the following parts to form a meaningful sentence:
P. when heated
Q. expands
R. like most other materials
S. metal

• A. S-R-Q-P
• B. R-S-P-Q
• C. S-Q-R-P
• D. S-R-Q-P

Hint:

For sentence rearrangement, start with the subject (noun) and verb to form the main clause. Add modifiers (e.g., prepositional phrases) close to what they describe, and place conditional or temporal clauses (e.g., "when...") at the end unless they start the sentence. Test the arrangement for clarity and grammatical correctness, and use commas for non-essential phrases. Practice by rearranging similar sentences.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Solution: To form a meaningful sentence, we need to rearrange the parts in a logical sequence. Let's break it down step-by-step based on the given parts:

1. S: metal
2. R: like most other materials
3. Q: expands
4. P: when heated

Now, let's arrange them:

• The subject of the sentence is provided by part S: "metal".
• Part R qualifies the subject by comparing it to other materials: "like most other materials".
• Part Q describes the action: "expands".
• Part P explains the condition under which the action occurs: "when heated".

Putting it all together, the sentence becomes: "Metal, like most other materials, expands when heated." This matches the provided correct order: S-R-Q-P.
