Then the women P : lamenting their evil desire Q : that had brought R : wept loudly S : this sorrow upon them The Proper sequence should be:

The correct answer is: D. PRQS

The sentence is about the women who wept loudly because of their evil desire that had brought this sorrow upon them. The correct sequence of the sentence is:

  1. The women wept loudly.
  2. They lamented their evil desire.
  3. This sorrow had been brought upon them by their evil desire.

Option A, RPQS, is incorrect because it puts the second event (the women lamenting their evil desire) before the first event (the women weeping loudly).

Option B, RQPS, is incorrect because it puts the third event (the sorrow being brought upon the women by their evil desire) before the second event (the women lamenting their evil desire).

Option C, PQSR, is incorrect because it puts the third event (the sorrow being brought upon the women by their evil desire) before the first event (the women weeping loudly).
