Rearrange the parts of the sentence in correct order.

Q. effective leadership

R. by aligning individual goals

S. with a shared vision and purpose

1. A. QPRS (Correct answer)
2. B. QRPS
3. C. PQRS
4. D. PSQR

Correct Answer

Option A — QPRS

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is QPRS.

Key Points

• Assembled in order Q-P-R-S, the sentence reads:
  • *Effective leadership often determines the success of collective efforts by aligning individual goals with a shared vision and purpose.*
• Q ("effective leadership") is the only part that can serve as the subject — it is a noun phrase with no verb.
• P ("often determines the success of collective efforts") supplies the verb and object, completing the main clause.
• R ("by aligning individual goals") opens the adverbial phrase explaining *how*.
• S ("with a shared vision and purpose") completes that phrase — *align X with Y* is a fixed collocation, so S must directly follow R.

Additional Information

• Method for rearrangement questions:
  • Find the part that can begin a sentence — usually a noun phrase or an introductory clause.
  • Locate the finite verb; the subject must sit immediately before it.
  • Keep prepositional pairs together (*aligning ... with ...*), since splitting them breaks the sentence.
• Here the R-S pairing alone eliminates option A's ordering error and confirms the answer without testing every permutation.
