Question

The following question consists of an incomplete sentence with a fixed beginning and a fixed ending. The middle portion of the sentence is divided into four parts labelled P, Q, R and S. These four parts are given in a jumbled order. Arrange P, Q, R and S in the correct sequence to form a meaningful and grammatically correct sentence. Choose the correct combination from the options given.

To address the reviewer’s concerns,________________________________________________ coherence of the dissertation significantly.

P) too many theoretical directions

Q) the scholar revised two core arguments,

R) simultaneously could weaken the overall

S) yet acknowledged that pursuing

The correct answer is

Q S P R

The introductory phrase “To address the reviewer’s concerns,” needs a main clause with a subject; only Q supplies one: “the scholar revised two core arguments,”. So Q comes first.

Q ends with a comma, and S “yet acknowledged that pursuing” continues the same subject with a contrasting verb. The gerund pursuing needs an object, which P gives: “pursuing too many theoretical directions”.

That gerund phrase is the subject of a verb, supplied by R: “simultaneously could weaken the overall”, and R’s the overall joins the fixed ending “coherence of the dissertation significantly”.

Full sentence: To address the reviewer’s concerns, the scholar revised two core arguments, yet acknowledged that pursuing too many theoretical directions simultaneously could weaken the overall coherence of the dissertation significantly. Order: Q S P R.

Hence, the answer is Q S P R.
