Difficulty: Medium
Correct Answer: QPRS
Explanation:
Given data
Concept/ApproachAttach the defining relative clause (Q) to the subject, then provide the principal action (P), specify the object with its relative qualifier (R), and end with an adverbial phrase of manner (S).
Step-by-step reconstruction1) 'The grocer' + Q → defines the subject.2) P → main action 'did not listen...'.3) R → identifies the protesting customer.4) S → manner 'with great audacity'.Sequence: QPRS.
VerificationFull sentence: '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.'
Common pitfallsPlacing S earlier weakens clarity; beginning with P omits the essential subject qualifier.
Final AnswerCorrect order: QPRS.
