Question

Rearrange the following sentence fragments (P, Q, R and S) to make a meaningful sentence.

I always told them ____ and consideration for me.
P. how for me she
Q. always exuded warmth
R. was like a family's
S. elder and how she has

• A. PRSQ
• B. PQSR
• C. PRQS
• D. SQPR

Hint:

Look for the “how... and how...” parallel structure: P starts it, and S’s ending “and how she has” must lead into Q.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Since the sentence has a clear “how... and how...” parallel structure, spotting that pattern makes the ordering fall into place quickly.

1. The blank must open with “how”, pointing to P as the starting fragment.
2. “Family's” in R needs a noun right after it, which only S supplies (“elder”), linking R directly to S.
3. S ends with “and how she has”, clearly needing a verb phrase next, which Q supplies (“always exuded warmth”).
4. Q then flows directly into the sentence's given ending, “and consideration for me”.

Putting it together: P (how for me she) + R (was like a family's) + S (elder and how she has) + Q (always exuded warmth) + and consideration for me.

So the correct answer is option A, PRSQ.
