The correct answer is: D. PRQS
The sentence is about the policy of management in dealing with the strike. The statement made by the person suggests that he is quite in the dark about the policy. Therefore, the sequence should be:
- P: It would appear
- R: from his statement
- Q: about the policy of management
- S: in dealing with the strike
The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the logical sequence of the sentence.
Option A: RPSQ
This option puts the statement before the policy, which is not logical. The statement is about the policy, so it should come after the policy.
Option B: PSQR
This option puts the statement after the strike, which is also not logical. The statement is about the policy, so it should come before the strike.
Option C: RQPS
This option puts the policy before the statement, which is not logical. The statement is about the policy, so it should come after the policy.
