Answer
Correct Answer: RQSP
Explanation
Given data
- Starter: 'I was'
- R: very excited
- Q: when my father told me
- S: that I could go with him
- P: and stay fro few days in Delhi (intended: for a few days)
Concept/ApproachAdjective complement (R) should immediately follow 'I was'. Then a time clause (Q) introduces the news, followed by the content (S) and the additional purpose/extent (P).
Step-by-step reconstructionResult: 'I was very excited when my father told me that I could go with him and stay for a few days in Delhi.'Sequence: RQSP.
VerificationTemporal → content → extension ordering creates a natural, narrative flow.
Common pitfallsStarting with Q or S after 'I was' causes an incomplete predicate; placing P earlier interrupts the 'that'-clause.
Final AnswerCorrect order: RQSP.
