Arya Bajaj answered |
Key is the taxonomical aid used for identification of plants and animals based on the similarities and dissimilarities.
Explanation:
A key is a taxonomical tool that helps in the identification of plants and animals based on the similarities and dissimilarities among them. It consists of a series of choices that lead the user to the correct identification of the organism. The key is based on the characteristics that are unique to a particular group of organisms.
The keys are usually in the form of a dichotomous key which consists of a series of paired statements or questions. Each statement or question has two choices, and the user must choose the one that best describes the organism being identified. The user continues through the key until the organism is identified.
Keys can be used for the identification of plants, animals, fungi, and bacteria. They are used in a variety of fields, such as botany, zoology, microbiology, and ecology.
In conclusion, a key is a taxonomical aid that helps in the identification of plants and animals based on their similarities and dissimilarities. It is a useful tool for scientists, educators, and amateur naturalists who want to identify organisms in the field or laboratory.

Question: Rearrange the given parts P, Q, R, and S to form a meaningful sentence:
P: promptly and politely
Q: ask for attendants
R: to help our customers
S: who have instructions
The proper sequence is:
a) SQPR
b) QPSR
c) QSRP
d) SQRP
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.
P: promptly and politely
Q: ask for attendants
R: to help our customers
S: who have instructions
The proper sequence is:

Proper Sequence: RPQS
Explanation:
R: The sentence talks about the expedition which was the last expedition. Hence, it should be the opening sentence.
P: The sentence talks about an event that was to happen before the school examination. The event is not yet specified. Hence, P should follow R.
Q: The sentence talks about the event which was due to start. Since P talks about an event that was to happen before the school examination, Q should follow P.
S: The sentence talks about a time frame. It says that the event was to happen within a month. Hence, S should be the last sentence.
Therefore, the correct sequence is RPQS. Option C is the correct answer.

Jyoti Menon answered |
Explanation:
The given statements are:
P: exactly what he had been told
Q: the young man did
R: beyond his dreams
S: and the plan succeeded
The proper sequence is: QPSR
Explanation:
The sentence "the young man did" (Q) introduces the action of the young man.
The sentence "exactly what he had been told" (P) provides more information about the action mentioned in Q. It suggests that the young man did something in accordance with what he had been told.
The sentence "and the plan succeeded" (S) indicates the outcome of the action mentioned in Q and P. It suggests that the plan was successful.
The sentence "beyond his dreams" (R) adds further information about the success of the plan. It implies that the outcome exceeded the young man's expectations.
Therefore, the correct sequence is QPSR, which means that the young man successfully did exactly what he had been told, and the plan succeeded beyond his dreams.

Explanation:
The given statements describe a situation where it suddenly starts raining on the first of January, and as a result, people run for shelter to a neighboring house where many people have gathered to celebrate the new year. We need to arrange these statements in a logical sequence.
Step-by-step solution:
Let's analyze the given statements and their logical sequence:
Statement P: "To celebrate the new year."
This statement provides the reason for people gathering at the neighboring house. It should come after the statement describing people gathering.
Statement Q: "We ran for shelter."
This statement describes the immediate action taken by the people when it started raining suddenly. It should come after the statement describing people gathering.
