PYST : General Awareness - SSC Stenographer 2024 (Tier-I) (10-Dec-2024) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

CBDAE

The correct order to form a meaningful sentence is CBDAE. Let's break down why:

  1. C: "such a vile medicine that" - This sets the scene and introduces the main subject: a medicine.
  2. B: "the lady was compelled" - This introduces the lady who is the recipient of the medicine.
  3. D: "by the doctor to drink" - This explains *why* the lady was compelled – the doctor instructed her.
  4. A: "but killed by him" - This adds a surprising twist, indicating a negative outcome.
  5. E: "she was ill" - This offers a possible (though unfortunate) reason for the doctor's actions.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: "Such a vile medicine that the lady was compelled by the doctor to drink, but killed by him; she was ill."

Let's examine why other options are incorrect:

  • BACED: This order is grammatically incorrect and nonsensical.
  • ACDEB: This order creates a sentence fragment and lacks a clear subject.
  • DACBE: This order creates a grammatically incorrect and illogical sentence.

The order CBDAE flows logically and forms a grammatically correct and coherent sentence.
