It is very easy P : a great deal more than one realises Q : may mean R : that a phrase that one does not quite understand S : to persuade oneself The Proper sequence should be:

The correct answer is: C. SRQP

The sentence is: “It is very easy to persuade oneself that a phrase that one does not quite understand may mean a great deal more than one realizes.”

The correct sequence of the words is:

1. S: It is very easy
2. R: to persuade oneself
3. Q: that a phrase that one does not quite understand
4. P: may mean

The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the correct sequence of the words.

Option A: RSQP

This option is incorrect because the word “may” comes after the word “phrase.” The correct order is “phrase that one does not quite understand may mean.”

Option B: SPQR

This option is incorrect because the word “persuade” comes after the word “phrase.” The correct order is “persuade oneself that a phrase that one does not quite understand.”

Option D: RQPS

This option is incorrect because the word “easy” comes after the word “phrase.” The correct order is “It is very easy to persuade oneself that a phrase that one does not quite understand.”
