Sentence rearrangement (PQRS): Construct a clear statement indicating, from someone’s remarks about strike policy, that he was completely unaware; pick the right order of P–Q–R–S to complete the sentence.

Given data

• Starter: 'It would'
• P: appear from his statement
• Q: about the policy of management
• R: in dealing with the strike
• S: that he was quite in the dark

Concept/Approach
A natural matrix is 'It would appear from his statement that...'. The content of 'that' then specifies ignorance, followed by topic and context (Q and R) as attached prepositional phrases.

Step-by-step reconstruction
1) P → 'appear from his statement'.2) S → 'that he was quite in the dark' (clausal complement).3) Q → 'about the policy of management' (topic).4) R → 'in dealing with the strike' (context).Sequence: PSQR.

Verification
Full line: 'It would appear from his statement that he was quite in the dark about the policy of management in dealing with the strike.'

Common pitfalls
Putting Q or R before S interrupts the 'appear... that' construction.

Final Answer
Correct order: PSQR.
