P. The snake was lying dead under the cradle.
Q. He went into the room where the baby was sleeping.
R. It had been killed by his dog.
S. He noticed a snake.
6. He realised that his dog had saved his baby.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. QSPR.
- As the part Q is talking about what the master did just after returning it will come after 1.
- As in the part, it is used "a snake" and in the part, it is used "the snake" it means first we need to keep the statement containing "a snake" then we need to keep the statement containing "the snake".
- Noun with an indefinite article should be placed first and the noun with a definite article should be placed after indefinite article.
- So after S, we need to keep p.
- And part R will be the last sentence.
- Now the final arrangement will be QSPR so it will be correct.
Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
