Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. RPQS.

  • The given sentence is in a jumbled order, and the parts of the sentence need to be rearranged to form a grammatically correct sentence.
  • The correct sentence order starts with the subject "the rattlesnake" followed by the verb "knows."
  • Then, the reason or cause for the action is explained using the phrase "because it has specialized Jacobson's organs."
  • After that, the sentence continues with the relative clause "which gives it a heightened sense of smell."
  • Finally, the sentence ends with the purpose of the heightened sense of smell, which is "to detect prey."

The correct order of the sentence is:

The rattlesnake knows when to lie low because it has specialized Jacobson's organs, which gives it a heightened sense of smell to detect prey.
