Rearranging Jumbled Sentence Parts about Pandita Ramabai
The question asks us to rearrange the jumbled parts of a sentence, labelled P, Q, R, and S, into a coherent and grammatically correct sentence. We need to identify the logical flow and connection between these parts to find the correct sequence.
Let's look at the parts provided:
- (P) for which she fought till the end
- (Q) as a champion of women’s rights,
- (R) Pandita Ramabai was truly remarkable
- (S) as a pioneer in women’s education and
Analyzing the Sentence Parts
We should look for the main subject and verb to start building the sentence. Part (R) "Pandita Ramabai was truly remarkable" clearly introduces the subject (Pandita Ramabai) and a statement about her (was truly remarkable). This is likely the beginning or core of the sentence.
Now, let's see how the other parts describe why she was remarkable:
- (S) "as a pioneer in women’s education and" describes her role as a pioneer. The word "and" suggests this is linked to something else she was remarkable for.
- (Q) "as a champion of women’s rights," describes her role as a champion. This connects well with (S) using "and".
So, a logical sequence could be R followed by S and Q, describing her remarkable qualities: "Pandita Ramabai was truly remarkable as a pioneer in women’s education and as a champion of women’s rights,".
Finally, let's consider part (P) "for which she fought till the end". The word "which" typically refers back to something mentioned just before. In the sequence R S Q, the phrase "women's rights" in part (Q) is the most likely antecedent for "which". She fought for women's rights.
Putting it all together, the sequence R S Q P forms the sentence: "Pandita Ramabai was truly remarkable as a pioneer in women’s education and as a champion of women’s rights, for which she fought till the end."
This sentence is grammatically correct and makes perfect sense, describing Pandita Ramabai's contributions and her dedication to the cause of women's rights.
