Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: QRPS
Explanation:
Given data
Concept/Approach
Complete the head clause with a relative clause (‘‘that is necessary’’) and its complement (purpose ‘‘to keep the world going’’). Then add the coordinated result clause (‘‘and without it we should all die’’).
Step-by-step construction
Start with Q to attach the defining relative clause: ‘‘… that is necessary …’’Add R to complete meaning: ‘‘… to keep the world going …’’Bring in P for coordination: ‘‘… and without it …’’Finish with S: ‘‘… we should all die.’’Final sentence: ‘‘Work is the one thing that is necessary to keep the world going, and without it we should all die.’’
Verification
Syntactic flow is Head → Relative (Q+R) → Coordinated clause (P+S). No dangling or misplaced modifier remains.
Common pitfalls
Do not place ‘‘and without it’’ (P) before completing the ‘‘that …’’ clause; it breaks the head–relative linkage.
