QPRS

Sentence Rearrangement Explained

This question asks us to correctly arrange the jumbled parts of a sentence to form a meaningful and grammatically correct statement. Let's look at the parts we have:

  • P. are not allowed
  • Q. players
  • R. to change to a different position
  • S. unless there is a special requirement

Identifying the Correct Sentence Structure

To find the correct order, we need to identify the subject, verb, object/complement, and any qualifying clauses.

  • Subject: The most logical subject for the sentence is 'players' (Q).
  • Verb Phrase: Following the subject, we need a verb. 'are not allowed' (P) fits perfectly after 'players' to form 'players are not allowed'.
  • Action/Complement: What are the players not allowed to do? The phrase 'to change to a different position' (R) explains this action. So, the sentence becomes 'players are not allowed to change to a different position'.
  • Condition: The final part, 'unless there is a special requirement' (S), provides a condition under which the rule might not apply. This clause logically follows the main statement.

Combining these parts in the order Q, P, R, S gives us the sentence:

Q. players + P. are not allowed + R. to change to a different position + S. unless there is a special requirement

This forms the complete sentence: "Players are not allowed to change to a different position unless there is a special requirement."

Analyzing the Options

Let's check which option matches the correct order QPRS:

  • Option 1: SPRQ - Incorrect
  • Option 2: QPRS - Correct
  • Option 3: SQPR - Incorrect
  • Option 4: RQSP - Incorrect
  • Option 5: PQRS - Incorrect

The correct arrangement is QPRS, which matches Option 2.
