    Question

    Some parts of a sentence have been jumbled up, and labelled P, Q, R and S. Select the option that gives the correct sequence in which these parts can be rearranged to form a meaningful and grammatically correct sentence.
    A lot of people
    P. one particular
    Q. are biased towards
    R. most newspapers
    S. think that
    political party.

    A.

    SPQR

    B.

    SRQP

    C.

    PQRS

    D.

    RQPS

    Correct option is B


    The correct option is (b) SRQP.

    Step-by-step arrangement:

    • The sentence begins with the fixed opening: A lot of people.
    • After this, the verb phrase should come: think that (S), because it introduces a belief/opinion.
    • Next, we need the subject of what they think: most newspapers (R).
    • Then comes the verb phrase describing newspapers: are biased towards (Q).
    • Finally, the phrase one particular (P) must directly modify political party, completing the idea.

    Correct complete sentence:

    A lot of people think that most newspapers are biased towards one particular political party.

    Why other options are incorrect:

    • (a) SPQR: Places one particular too early; it cannot come immediately after people without a linking structure.
    • (c) PQRS: Starts abruptly with a fragment; it does not form a grammatical continuation after A lot of people.
    • (d) RQPS: Starts with most newspapers before think that, which breaks the required main clause structure.

    So the correct answer is (b)
