Explanation
Solution
To solve sentence rearrangement questions, we look for logical connections between the fragments to build a coherent structure.
1. Finding the Opening Part:
Fragment Q (candidates should note) acts as the logical subject and introductory clause of the sentence. It sets up what needs to be observed.
2. Identifying the Link:
The verb "note" in fragment Q is usually followed by the conjunction "that". Fragment R (that no request for) provides this link. This gives us the sequence QR.
3. Completing the Subject Phrase:
The phrase "request for" in fragment R needs an object. Fragment S (change of centre) fits perfectly here, completing the noun phrase. This gives us QRS.
4. Adding the Predicate:
Fragment P (will normally be granted) provides the verb phrase that describes what will happen to the "request."
Final Sequence:
The full sentence becomes: "Candidates should note that no request for change of centre will normally be granted."
Evaluation of Sequence:
-
Step 1: Q (Intro)
-
Step 2: R (Connector)
-
Step 3: S (Object)
-
Step 4: P (Conclusion)
Correct Option: 4 (Sequence: QRSP)
