Difficulty: Medium
Correct Answer: QPRS
Explanation:
Given data
Concept/Approach
Use relative pronouns correctly: 'which' must refer back to the table, so the adjective clause Q should come immediately after the noun 'table'. The clause 'who...' must refer to the 'old prince', so R should directly follow P where the prince is introduced.
Step-by-step reconstruction
1) Place Q after the subject → 'The majestic mahogany table which has one leg missing...'2) Add P → '...belongs to an old prince...'3) Attach R to modify 'old prince' → '...who is now impoverished...'4) Conclude with S → '...but not without some pride.'Sequence selected: QPRS.
Verification/Alternative
Full sentence reads naturally: 'The majestic mahogany table, which has one leg missing, belongs to an old prince who is now impoverished but not without some pride.'
Common pitfalls
Placing R before P misassigns 'who'; putting Q later separates 'which' from its noun antecedent.
Final Answer
Correct order: QPRS.
