Sentence rearrangement (PQRS): Arrange the parts to complete the courteous enclosure sentence — 'I enclose a postal order … which will cover the price of books and the postage.'

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: QSRP

Explanation:


Given data

  • Starter: 'I enclose'
  • Q: a postal order
  • S: which will cover
  • R: the price of books
  • P: and the postage


Concept/Approach
State the direct object first, then a defining relative clause ('which...') introducing what the postal order covers, followed by coordinated objects.


Step-by-step ordering
Construct: 'I enclose a postal order which will cover the price of books and the postage.' → Q → S → R → P.


Common pitfalls
Putting P before R disrupts the natural 'cover X and Y' rhythm; placing S before Q leaves the relative pronoun without an antecedent.
