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

The sentence is constructed by logically arranging parts P, Q, R, and S. Let's analyze each part:

• S: "metal" - This should be the subject of the sentence.
• R: "like most other materials" - This part describes a characteristic of the subject.
• Q: "expands" - This is the action that the subject undergoes.
• P: "when heated" - This part provides the condition under which the action occurs.

Now, combining these parts to form a coherent sentence, we follow the logical sequence:

1. S: Start with the subject: "Metal".
2. R: Add the descriptive part: "like most other materials".
3. Q: Follow with the action: "expands".
4. P: Conclude with the condition: "when heated".

The correctly formed sentence is: "Metal, like most other materials, expands when heated." 
Thus, the correct arrangement of the sentence parts is S-R-Q-P.
