Question

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

A year or ____ foreign languages.
P. I picked up a liking for learning
Q. the largest urban area and primary
R. so after leaving Bangkok
S. city of Thailand and a place of unique beauty

• A. RPQS
• B. RQSP
• C. RSPQ
• D. SPQR

Hint:

Bangkok is named in R, then described across Q and S, before the main clause “I picked up...” resumes in P.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

This sentence has a name (Bangkok) followed by a descriptive phrase about it, then the main clause continues, so spotting where the description begins and ends is the key.

1. “A year or” needs “so after leaving Bangkok” (R) to complete the opening time phrase.
2. Once Bangkok is named, it needs describing, which Q begins (“the largest urban area and primary”).
3. Q's dangling word “primary” needs a noun, supplied by S (“city of Thailand and a place of unique beauty”), completing the description.
4. After the descriptive phrase about Bangkok ends, the sentence returns to its main subject, “I”, in P (“I picked up a liking for learning”), which leads into the given ending “foreign languages”.

Putting it together: R (so after leaving Bangkok) + Q (the largest urban area and primary) + S (city of Thailand and a place of unique beauty) + P (I picked up a liking for learning) + foreign languages.

So the correct answer is option B, RQSP.
