Sentence rearrangement (PQRS): Reorder the fragments to narrate excitement on being told one could accompany father to Delhi for a few days; select the correct sequence of P–Q–R–S.

Difficulty: Medium

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/Approach
Adjective 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 reconstruction
Result: '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.


Verification
Temporal → content → extension ordering creates a natural, narrative flow.


Common pitfalls
Starting with Q or S after 'I was' causes an incomplete predicate; placing P earlier interrupts the 'that'-clause.


Final Answer
Correct order: RQSP.
