Answer
Correct Answer: RQSP
Explanation
Given data
- Starter: 'People'
- R: of all professions
- Q: went to him
- S: for medicine and treatment
- P: at his dispensary
Concept/ApproachAfter the head noun, place the restrictive prepositional phrase (R), then the past action (Q), followed by purpose (S), and finally the location (P).
Step-by-step reconstruction1) R → qualifies 'People'.2) Q → verb phrase 'went to him'.3) S → purpose 'for medicine and treatment'.4) P → location 'at his dispensary'.Sequence: RQSP.
VerificationFull sentence: 'People of all professions went to him for medicine and treatment at his dispensary.'
Common pitfallsPutting P before S results in an awkward order of adverbials; starting with Q omits a needed qualification of 'People'.
Final AnswerCorrect order: RQSP.
