    Rearrange the parts of the sentence in correct order.

    The issue of

    P. compulsory vaccination is difficult

    Q. multiple interests all protected by human

    R. because the governments need to consider

    S. rights law and strike a fair balance between them

    Solutions

    In this sentence, the issue is about compulsory vaccination. Therefore, it makes sense to start with "The issue of"

    The first part of the sentence is given: "The issue of". Now, let's consider what makes sense after this part:

    P. "compulsory vaccination is difficult" — This makes sense as the immediate next part, because it follows the "The issue of" in a logical way.

    R. "because the governments need to consider" — This part explains why the issue of compulsory vaccination is difficult. The conjunction "because" implies an explanation or reason is about to be given, so it follows well from part P.

    Q. "multiple interests all protected by human" — This part gives us the specifics of what the governments need to consider, i.e., multiple interests protected by human rights law.

    S. "rights law and strike a fair balance between them" — This completes part Q, and explains the governments' challenge of balancing these rights.

    Thus, the correct order of the parts of the sentence is (a) PRQS.

  • Question 10/10

    Identify the segment in the given sentence which contains the grammatical error.

    Dinesh asked Gautam about he was coming or not.

    Solutions

    In the sentence "Dinesh asked Gautam about he was coming or not," the segment "about he was" is incorrect because it doesn't form a grammatically correct indirect question.

    In English, when you're relaying a question someone else asked, you usually use "if" or "whether."

    The word "about" is not used in this context to introduce an indirect question. Therefore, "about he was" is the segment that contains the grammatical error, making "(b) about he was" the correct answer.
