English Sentence Arrangement and Grammar Quiz

The correct answer is 'had worked hard for it'. The past perfect tense 'had worked' is needed because working hard happened before passing the exam (past tense). 'Worked hardly' is incorrect because 'hardly' means barely/seldom. 'Was working hard' is past continuous which doesn't fit. Note: Option D has a typo 'itt'.

R-Q-P-S creates: 'When he heard the hue and cry at midnight, he was nervous and did not know what to do.' This is grammatically correct and logically coherent - hearing a commotion causes nervousness, which leads to not knowing what action to take.

Q-P-R-S creates: 'although a great scientist, Einstein was weak in arithmetic right from his school days.' This is a coherent concessive sentence structure - 'although X, Y' contrasts being a great scientist with being weak in arithmetic.

P-S-R-Q creates: 'Then it struck me how eminently suitable it was of course.' This is the most coherent arrangement - 'it struck me' begins the realization, followed by what was realized (how suitable), 'eminently' modifies suitable, and 'of course' is a natural ending particle.

P-S-R-Q creates: 'I read an advertisement that said posh, air-conditioned fully furnished rooms are available for gentleman of taste.' This is grammatically correct and coherent - the adjective phrases (posh, air-conditioned, fully furnished) modify 'rooms', and the purpose is 'for gentleman of taste'.

Q-P-S-R creates: 'Since the beginning of history the Eskimos and Red Indians have managed to catch a few specimens of this aquatic animal by a very difficulty method.' This is grammatically coherent (note: 'difficulty' should be 'difficult' - there's a typo in the original). The subject (Eskimos and Red Indians) is followed by the verb phrase (have managed to catch), then object, then method.

Q-P-R-S creates: 'The grocer who was in the habit of weighing less did not listen to the protests of customer whom he had cheated with great audacity.' This arrangement is coherent - 'who was in the habit of weighing less' describes the grocer, the main clause is 'did not listen', and 'whom he had cheated' identifies the customer, with 'with great audacity' describing how the grocer acted.

RPSQ creates the coherent sentence: 'They felt safer as they settled down to watch the mountain from a distance of more than five miles.' This sequence follows logical flow - first the feeling (R), then the action (P), then how it was done (S), and finally the specific distance measurement (Q).

QPSR forms: 'It is easier for men to venture into space than to explore to beneath their feet.' This compares two actions using the easier...than structure, with 'for men' correctly positioned after the subject.

RPQS gives: 'It was to be the last expedition which was due to start in a month's before their school examination.' Note: 'in a month's' is grammatically incomplete (should be 'in a month's time'), but RPQS is the best available sequence among the options.

RQPS creates: 'In the darkness the tall stooping figure of the doctor was clearly visible with the long, narrow beard and the aquiline nose.' This establishes the context (darkness), introduces the subject (doctor), then describes his visible features.

QPSR forms: 'We have to speak the truth as we see it even if all around us there is falsehood and weakness.' This creates a coherent statement about moral integrity - speaking truth despite surrounding negativity. 'As we see it' modifies how truth is spoken, and the final clause provides contrast.

QRSP gives: 'When it began to rain suddenly on the first of January we ran for shelter to the neighbouring house where many people had gathered to celebrate the new year.' This tells a complete story - rain starts (Q), action taken (R), destination (S), and why people were there (P).

RQSP forms: 'He told us that he had read Milton in a prose translation which he had borrowed from his teacher and enjoy it immensely.' This follows natural storytelling - what was read (R), how/in what form (Q), source of the book (S), and the reaction (P).

SQRP creates: 'He knews that the duty of a captain was to save all the lives entrusted to his care and then to save himself.' Note: 'knews' is grammatically incorrect (should be 'knew'). The sequence S-Q-R-P is logically correct - stating the captain's duty, what it entails, and the order of priorities.

QSPR forms: 'Education is the first need in a citizen for the development of the proper sense of responsibilities.' This logically places education as the primary need (Q), identifies where it's needed (S), and explains its purpose (P-R).

PSRQ gives: 'He was so kind and generous that he not only helped them himself but also made others do so.' This uses the not only...but also correlative conjunction correctly, with 'helped them himself' as the first action and 'made others do so' as the second.

The sequence PRSQ forms a coherent sentence: 'We went along the railway line and had a right to [go] where other people not allowed to go but daddy belonged to the railway.' The father's railway employment explains the special access privilege.

The sequence QSRP forms a coherent sentence: 'There was a time when each family actually produced for itself most of the things it needed for it everyday life.' This describes pre-industrial self-sufficient economies.
