Question

The first (P1) and the last (P6) parts of a single sentence are given to you. The rest of the sentence is divided into four parts and labelled (L,M,N,O). Reorder these parts so that the sentence can be read through correctly and select one of the options given.
P1: Studies of several Sahitya Akademi award winners show that...
L: or encounter professional
M: and invariably develop a strained relationship with other literary figures
N: they often publish very little
O: after winning the prize
P6: ...envy and rivalry.

• A. NOLM
• B. MLON
• C. ONML
• D. MOLN

Hint:

When solving such sentence reordering questions, focus on the logical flow and ensure that the resulting sentence makes sense both grammatically and contextually.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

We are given the first part (P1) and the last part (P6) of a sentence. We need to reorder the remaining parts to form a coherent sentence. The given parts are:
- P1: "Studies of several Sahitya Akademi award winners show that..."
- P6: "...envy and rivalry."
Now, we analyze the options:
Option (A) NOLM: This order does not form a meaningful sentence as it does not fit well with the context.
Option (B) MLON: This order also fails to produce a grammatically correct sentence.
Option (C) ONML: The correct sequence is obtained with this order. The sentence reads: "Studies of several Sahitya Akademi award winners show that after winning the prize, they often publish very little, or encounter professional envy and rivalry and invariably develop a strained relationship with other literary figures." This is logically and grammatically correct.
Option (D) MOLN: This order doesn't result in a meaningful sentence either.
Thus, the correct order is ONML.
Final Answer: \boxed{ONML}
