The correct answer is: D. QSPR
The sentence “As lightning accompanies thunder, so in my character the mutterings of my wrath was mingled with a flash of humour” is a simile. A simile is a figure of speech that compares two unlike things using the words “like” or “as.” In this case, the speaker is comparing their character to the weather. They are saying that their anger is always accompanied by humor, just as lightning is always accompanied by thunder.
The correct sequence of words is:
- Q: so in my character
- S: a flash of humour
- P: was mingled with
- R: the mutterings of my wrath
The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the logical order of the sentence. For example, option A (PRSQ) would have the speaker saying that their humor was mingled with their wrath, which is not the same thing as saying that their anger is always accompanied by humor.
I hope this explanation is helpful!
