Question

Rearrange the following parts to form a meaningful sentence:
P. when heated
Q. expands
R. like most other materials
S. metal

• A. S-R-Q-P
• B. R-S-P-Q
• C. S-Q-R-P
• D. S-R-Q-P

Hint:

For sentence rearrangement, start with the subject (noun) and verb to form the main clause. Add modifiers (e.g., prepositional phrases) close to what they describe, and place conditional or temporal clauses (e.g., "when...") at the end unless they start the sentence. Test the arrangement for clarity and grammatical correctness, and use commas for non-essential phrases. Practice by rearranging similar sentences.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The sentence is formed by logically ordering elements P, Q, R, and S. Analysis of each element is as follows:

• S: "metal" - Designates the sentence's subject.
• R: "like most other materials" - Modifies the subject by describing a characteristic.
• Q: "expands" - Denotes the action performed by the subject.
• P: "when heated" - Specifies the condition under which the action occurs.

Assembling these components into a coherent sentence follows this logical progression:

1. S: Initiate with the subject: "Metal".
2. R: Append the descriptive phrase: "like most other materials".
3. Q: Introduce the verb: "expands".
4. P: Conclude with the conditional clause: "when heated".

The resultant sentence is: "Metal, like most other materials, expands when heated."
Therefore, the sequence of sentence components is S-R-Q-P.
