Sentence rearrangement (PQRS) — Create a customer-service instruction: arrange the clauses so the help-seeker asks attendants who are instructed to assist customers promptly and politely.

Difficulty: Medium

Correct Answer: QSRP

Explanation:


Given data

  • Starter: 'If you need help'
  • Q: ask for attendants
  • S: who have instructions
  • R: to help our customers
  • P: promptly and politely


Concept/Approach
Imperative structure: verb phrase (Q), followed by a defining relative clause (S) that introduces the attendants, completed by an infinitival purpose (R) and adverbs of manner (P).


Step-by-step reconstruction
1) Q → command 'ask for attendants'.2) S → 'who have instructions' (qualifies attendants).3) R → 'to help our customers' (purpose of the instructions).4) P → 'promptly and politely' (manner).Sequence: QSRP.


Verification
Full sentence: 'If you need help, ask for attendants who have instructions to help our customers promptly and politely.'


Common pitfalls
Placing P before R separates adverbs from their verb; starting with S lacks an antecedent for 'who'.


Final Answer
Correct order: QSRP.
