Key Points

  • While arranging the parts of the sentence, we should find some grammatical or contextual connections between them-
    • Sentence P comes first as it is independent of any other sentence.
    • Sentence Q follows sentence P as it is describing the reason for the death of the author's mother.
    • Sentence R is the next sentence as it states the author's difficulty in remembering his mother.
    • S is the last sentence as it states that though he had a difficulty in remembering his mother he remembers her beautiful red dress.
  • Thus, the correct order is PQRS:

    • ​P: my very photogenic mother died
    • Q:  in a freak accident on a picnic because of lightning
    • R: I don't remember much about her
    • S: except her beautiful red dress
