    Saving the trees

    P: requires a much

    Q: bigger budget

    R: of European forests
    Solutions
    • The word ‘much’ in P precedes article ‘a’. It means ‘much’ acts as a determiner and needs a noun after it. So, we cannot end the sentence with P. P will be followed by Q. 

    • The noun "trees" and its connection with "European forests" is evident. Thus, R should be first in the sequence. 
    The correct sequence is: RPQ.

    After rearranging the parts, the sentence will be: Saving the trees of European forests requires a much bigger budget.

    Hence, option C is the correct answer.

    The correct order is: PRQ.

    After rearranging the parts, the sentence will be: Although no convincing arguments were made against the amendment, there was a commotion in the House.

    Hence, option C is the correct answer.
