Answer:
The given sentence is jumbled up, and the task is to rearrange the parts P, Q, R, and S to form a meaningful sentence.
Step 1: Identifying the Subject and Object
To form a meaningful sentence, it is essential to identify the subject and object of the given sentence.
Subject: the person or thing that performs the action
Object: the person or thing that receives the action
In the given sentence, the subject is 'we' (the speaker), and the object is 'customers.'
Step 2: Identifying the Action
Once the subject and object are identified, the next step is to find the action that is being performed.
In the given sentence, the action is to 'ask for attendants to help our customers.'
Step 3: Arranging the Parts
Now that we have identified the subject, object, and action, we can arrange the given parts P, Q, R, and S to form a meaningful sentence.
P: promptly and politely - Adverbial phrase that modifies the verb 'ask.'
Q: ask for attendants - Verb phrase that expresses the action.
R: to help our customers - Prepositional phrase that acts as an object complement.
S: who have instructions - Relative clause that modifies the noun 'customers.'
Hence, the proper sequence to form a meaningful sentence is:
Q - Ask for attendants
S - Who have instructions
R - To help our customers
P - Promptly and politely
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'c' - QSRP.
