Directions: In the question some parts of a sentence have been shuffled. You are required to rearrange the shuffled parts labelled (p, q, r, s and sometimes 't' also ) to produce the correct sentence and choose the proper sequence from the alternatives (1, 2 , 3, 4).

It gave how to hone the writing skills(p)me a different perspective(q)/ and allowed me (r) to understand(s).

The correct sentence reads 'It gave me a different perspective and allowed me to understand how to hone the writing skills.' Option C (q r s p) creates this coherent structure where 'me a different perspective' is the object of 'gave', and 'how to hone the writing skills' is the object of 'understand'. Options A and B place the infinitive phrase 'how to hone...' in positions that break the logical flow.
