P: We must read P : if we want to absorb the fruits of great literature Q : but with concentration R : them not as we do cricket stories S : undefined The Proper sequence should be:

QPSR
PSQR
PRSQ
PRQS

The correct answer is: D. PRQS

Here is a brief explanation of each option:

  • A. QPSR
    This option is incorrect because the sentence does not make sense if the words are arranged in this order. The word “but” does not connect the words “we must read” and “them not as we do cricket stories” in a logical way.
  • B. PSQR
    This option is incorrect because the word “if” does not connect the words “we must read” and “them not as we do cricket stories” in a logical way.
  • C. PRSQ
    This option is incorrect because the word “but” does not connect the words “them not as we do cricket stories” and “if we want to absorb the fruits of great literature” in a logical way.
  • D. PRQS
    This option is the correct answer because the sentence makes sense if the words are arranged in this order. The word “but” connects the words “we must read” and “them not as we do cricket stories” in a logical way. The word “if” connects the words “them not as we do cricket stories” and “if we want to absorb the fruits of great literature” in a logical way.

The sentence is:

We must read them not as we do cricket stories, but with concentration, if we want to absorb the fruits of great literature.

This sentence means that if we want to understand and appreciate great literature, we need to read it carefully and thoughtfully, not just quickly and casually.
