Question

Q : helped by a man
R : that he had been
S : he never respected

• A. SRQP
• B. QRPS
• C. PQRS
• D. PRQS

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To solve the jumbled parts of the sentence, we need to arrange them in a logical and meaningful sequence. The given parts are:

• P: did he realize
• Q: helped by a man
• R: that he had been
• S: he never respected

The correct sequence to form a coherent sentence is: PRQS. Let's break down why PRQS is the correct order:

1. Start with P: "did he realize" - This is the main verb which indicates a realization.
2. Follow with R: "that he had been" - This introduces the clause that explains what he realized.
3. Then Q: "helped by a man" - Adds more context to the realization; it clarifies the action he realized.
4. Finally, S: "he never respected" - Completes the thought by indicating who the man was in relation to him, providing a twist to the meaning.

Thus, the complete sentence is: "Only after being helped by a man he never respected, did he realize that he had been aided by an unlikely ally."

Let's rule out the other options:

• SRQP: "he never respected did he realize helped by a man that he had been" - This is not a coherent sentence.
• QRPS: "helped by a man that he had been did he realize he never respected" - This arrangement does not make logical sense.
• PQRS: "did he realize helped by a man he never respected that he had been" - This sequence is grammatically incorrect as well.

The most logical and grammatically correct sequence is PRQS, making it the right answer.
