The correct answer is- 'SQPR.' Key Points
- By reading the question, it is clear that 'S' will come first as we need a subject (he) to start our sentence.
- Q will follow next, as we need an object (intelligent) after the verb (look).
- Part Q will follow P, as they together form an idiom 'you can't judge a book by its cover.'
- In this way, 'SQPR' will form a grammatically correct sentence.
- Thus option 1 is the correct answer.
The correct sentence is: He doesn’t look very intelligent, but you can’t judge a book by its cover. Important Points
- Some tips to solve the jumbled sentences:
- Inspecting the theme and the construction of a sentence gives you an overview of the jumbled sentences and can help you identify the nouns, pronouns, subjects and all other parts of sentences.
- Read all the options thoroughly. While the first and second one looks obvious it might so happen that the construction might be completely different as given in the last option.
- Look for the Opening words like a noun.
- Try relating the words given like yet, but, when, then, they, anyway, etc. This will give you a clearer idea of how the sentences can be rearranged.
- Once you think you are done with arranging the statements correctly, re-read the entire sentence to ensure that it is logically and grammatically correct.
