Difficulty: Medium
Correct Answer: RPSQ
Explanation:
Given data
Concept/Approach
Modify the noun with a relative clause (R), state the main action (P), add instrumental/manner phrase (S), then attach the locative relative clause (Q) referring to 'the hotel'.
Step-by-step reconstruction
1) R qualifies 'A French woman' → 'who had come to Calcutta'.2) P gives the principal event → 'committed suicide'.3) S explains manner → 'by jumping from the first floor balcony of the hotel'.4) Q finalizes place reference → 'where she had put up' ('where' refers back to 'hotel').Sequence: RPSQ.
Verification
Full sentence: 'A French woman who had come to Calcutta committed suicide by jumping from the first floor balcony of the hotel where she had put up.'
Common pitfalls
Placing Q before S breaks the referent chain, as 'where' must follow 'hotel'.
Final Answer
Correct order: RPSQ.
