    Question

    Rearrange the parts of the sentence in the correct order.
    Postcolonial literature
    P. interrogates historical narratives,
    Q. while reclaiming suppressed voices
    R. and offers alternative perspectives
    S. rooted in indigenous experience,

    A.

    PSRQ  

    B.

    RSPQ  

    C.

    QRSP  

    D.

    SRPQ

    Correct option is A

    Option (a) PSRQ is the correct order of the given sentences.
    Why this order works (grammar + logic):
    · P supplies the main finite verb after the subject “Postcolonial literature”: interrogates historical narratives, completing the core clause.
    · S is a non-finite participial phrase ( rooted in indigenous experience) that functions as an appositive modifier referring back to the subject; placing it after the main clause is acceptable as a non-restrictive insert.
    · R adds a coordinated predicate with and offers alternative perspectives, pairing neatly with the first verb interrogates.
    · Q is a subordinate ‘while’-clause best placed at the end to convey concurrency: … while reclaiming suppressed voices.
    · Alternatives fail structurally: (b) begins with and offers (requires a previous clause), (c) starts with a while-clause without the anchoring main clause, and (d) leads with a modifier ( S) without a main predicate immediately, creating awkwardness.
