Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2. i.e. SQPR
S (Subject): "The name 'Madurai'" is the subject of the sentence. It introduces what the sentence is about.
Q (Qualifier): "evokes in the minds of the Tamils" is a qualifier that provides additional information about how the name 'Madurai' is perceived by the Tamils.
P (Predicate): "the golden era when their language, culture, and arts flourished" serves as the predicate, explaining what 'Madurai' evokes. It completes the main idea of the sentence.
R (Qualifier): "under the patronage of successive Pandian kings" adds more detail about the historical context of the golden era mentioned in the predicate.
So, when arranged in the correct order (SQPR), the sentence reads: "The name 'Madurai' evokes in the minds of the Tamils the golden era when their language, culture, and arts flourished under the patronage of successive Pandian kings."
