Parts of a sentence are given below in jumbled order. Select the option that arranges the parts in the correct sequence to form a meaningful sentence.
(P) showcasing objects of historic, scientific and cultural interest
(Q) by taking us back in time
(R) museums are always
(S) treasure troves of information
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1, i.e., R, S, P, Q.
Arranging the parts in order forms a coherent and meaningful sentence:
R: museums are always
S: treasure troves of information
P: showcasing objects of historic, scientific and cultural interest
Q: by taking us back in time
Together, they form:
“Museums are always treasure troves of information showcasing objects of historic, scientific and cultural interest by taking us back in time.”
This sequence makes logical sense: it starts with the subject and verb, describes what museums are, specifies what they showcase, and then explains how they do it. A source found confirms that this arrangement accurately reflects the logical flow: “(Q) 'by taking us back in time' logically concludes the sentence by explaining their impact”
Other options mix up the clauses, leading to awkward or semantically incorrect sentences.
