P. I have not come to complain he said
Q. even if it means some humiliation
R. but the boy must learn to be honest
S. and admit he broke it.

  • A.
    PQRS
  • B.QRPS
  • C.QPRS
  • D.PRQS

Answer: D

Correct answer: PRQS

The sentence reads:

'I have not come to complain,' he said, 'but the boy must learn to be honest, even if it means some humiliation, and admit he broke it.'

P is the first half of a not… but pair and R the second. Q is a concessive clause attached to R, and S is joined by and to learn, so it must come after the clause that interrupts them.
