(P) the paintings of Sayed Haider Raza blended
(Q) considered as one of the
(R) foremost pioneers of Indian modern art
(S) parisian modernism with the colours of Indian Rajput art
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. P, Q, R, S.
Part P introduces the subject — “the paintings of Sayed Haider Raza blended…”
Part Q follows naturally, describing how he is “considered as one of the…”
Part R completes that thought — “…foremost pioneers of Indian modern art.”
Finally, part S explains how his paintings blended — “Parisian modernism with the colours of Indian Rajput art.”
Why other options are incorrect:
Option 1 (Q, R, P, S): Starts with “considered as one of the” without a subject, making the sentence incomplete at the beginning.
Option 2 (R, P, S, Q): Starts abruptly with “foremost pioneers…” which sounds disconnected and grammatically awkward.
Option 3 (P, S, Q, R): Breaks the natural flow between P and Q, and disrupts meaning by inserting S too early.
