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)
