Sentence rearrangement (PQRS): Assemble the narrative about walking along a railway line where others were not allowed, noting the father’s right as railway staff; select the correct order of the parts.

Difficulty: Medium

Correct Answer: PRSQ

Explanation:

Given data

  • Starter: 'We went'
  • P: along the railway line
  • R: where other people not allowed to go
  • S: but daddy belonged to the railway
  • Q: and had a right to

Concept/ApproachFirst set the route (P), then the restriction (R). Provide the exception (S) and conclude with the justification verb phrase (Q) attached to 'daddy'.

Step-by-step reconstructionCombine as: 'We went along the railway line where other people were not allowed to go, but daddy belonged to the railway and had a right to.'Sequence: PRSQ.

VerificationThe concessive 'but' correctly precedes the justification; Q naturally completes S.

Common pitfallsPlacing Q before S leaves 'and had a right to' without a clear subject.

Final AnswerCorrect order: PRSQ.
