Concept:Sentence rearrangement is about finding the natural flow of events or descriptions. The first sentence usually sets the scene or introduces the main idea.
Rule / Clue:Start with Q which introduces the shop and the children’s fascination. Then S explains their confusion about old items. Next, R shows Lucy-Ann’s action based on that confusion. Finally, P gives Lucian’s response and the result.
Explanation:Q comes first: “The shop was fascinating to the four children.” It sets the scene.
S follows: “They had no idea which things in it were genuinely old…” This continues logically from Q.
R comes third: Lucy-Ann checks her money and asks Lucian – a natural step after their confusion.
P ends the sequence: Lucian points out expensive items, answering her question and showing the outcome.
Any other order breaks the cause-and-effect chain. For example, putting P before R would be illogical because Lucian’s advice comes after Lucy-Ann’s question.
Answer:The correct sequence is QSRP, which corresponds to option C.
