The question below consists of a sentence, the parts of which have been jumbled. These parts have been labelled P, Q, R and S. You are required to re-arrange the jumbled parts of the sentence and mark your response accordingly. We do not know when - but we know (P) the exact date of his death (Q) for certain (R) Shakespeare was born (S)  The correct sequence should be Correct Answer S P R Q

We have to start by denoting the subject of the sentence which is told in S. Next, we have a conjunction ‘but’ which is used to connect statements that express opposite ideas. Thus before 'but', we do not know about Shakespeare’s birth date and after ‘but’ we have his exact date of death.

Therefore, P is followed by Q and then R (where ‘for certain’ denotes that there is no doubt about the previous information).
