S1: I put the phone down and shook my head in bewilderment. P: Then I am taken in tow by some moonlighting hare-brain with a passion for veteran aircraft, flying his own Mosquito through the night who happens to spot me. Q: What a night, what an incredible night! R: Then I get lost and short of fuel. S: First I lose my radio and all my instruments. S6: And finally a half-drunk ground-duty officer has the sense to put his runaway lights on in time to save me. The Proper sequence should be: A. QPSR B. QSRP C. SPRQ D. SRPQ

[amp_mcq option1=”QPSR” option2=”QSRP” option3=”SPRQ” option4=”SRPQ” correct=”option4″]

The correct answer is: D. SRPQ

The sentence is about a pilot who had a difficult night flying his plane. The events in the sentence are:

1. The pilot loses his radio and all his instruments.
2. The pilot gets lost and short of fuel.
3. A half-drunk ground-duty officer has the sense to put his runaway lights on in time to save the pilot.
4. The pilot is taken in tow by a moonlighting hare-brain with a passion for veteran aircraft.
5. The pilot puts the phone down and shakes his head in bewilderment.

The correct sequence of the events is:

1. S
2. R
3. P
4. Q
5. S6

The first event is that the pilot loses his radio and all his instruments. This is followed by the second event, in which the pilot gets lost and short of fuel. The third event is that a half-drunk ground-duty officer has the sense to put his runaway lights on in time to save the pilot. The fourth event is that the pilot is taken in tow by a moonlighting hare-brain with a passion for veteran aircraft. The fifth and final event is that the pilot puts the phone down and shakes his head in bewilderment.

The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the correct sequence of events. For example, option A, QPSR, has the fourth event (the ground-duty officer turns on his runaway lights) before the second event (the pilot gets lost and short of fuel). Option B, QSRP, has the third event (the ground-duty officer turns on his runaway lights) before the first event (the pilot loses his radio and all his instruments). Option C, SPRQ, has the fifth event (the pilot puts the phone down and shakes his head in bewilderment) before the second event (the pilot gets lost and short of fuel).
