He told us that P : and enjoyed it immensely Q : in a prose translation R : he had read Milton S : which he had borrowed from his teacher The Proper sequence should be:

RSQP
QRPS
RQSP
RQPS

The correct answer is: D. RQPS

The sentence is about a man who tells his friends that he has read Milton’s Paradise Lost in a prose translation, which he borrowed from his teacher. The correct sequence of the sentence is:

  • He told us that he had read Milton’s Paradise Lost in a prose translation.
  • He had borrowed the translation from his teacher.
  • He enjoyed the book immensely.

The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the correct sequence of events. For example, option A (RSQP) has the man borrowing the translation before he reads the book. This is not possible, as he would not have known if he would enjoy the book before he read it. Option B (QRPS) has the man enjoying the book before he reads it. This is also not possible, as he would not have been able to enjoy the book if he had not read it. Option C (RQSP) has the man telling his friends about the book before he reads it. This is also not possible, as he would not have been able to tell his friends about the book if he had not read it.
