Choose the correct alternative to produce the properly meaningful sentence.

Everyone knows that

it is difficult(P)/ to speak more politely(Q)/ to go to the manager(R)/ and tell him that he ought(S)

The proper sequence should be

  • A.QSRP
  • B.PRSQ
  • C.QRSP
  • D.PSRQ

Answer: B

The proper sequence is PRSQ.

The sentence reads: 'Everyone knows that it is difficult (P) to go to the manager (R) and tell him that he ought (S) to speak more politely (Q).'

'It is difficult' needs the infinitive that follows it ('to go'), and 'he ought' needs 'to speak' to complete it. Orders beginning with Q or ending with P leave 'ought' without its verb or 'difficult' without its subject clause.
