Ram searched a hotel in booking site which have: (A) posh, air-conditioned, (B) the guest, (C) are available for, (D) fully furnished rooms

Appeared in: WCL Staff Nurse - 2022

Explanation

  • The correct sequence is ADCB, which forms the grammatically sound sentence: 'posh, air-conditioned, fully furnished rooms are available for the guest.'.
  • Part (A) 'posh, air-conditioned,' acts as adjectives describing the noun 'rooms' in part (D).
  • Part (D) 'fully furnished rooms' is the subject of the sentence.
  • Part (C) 'are available for' is the verb phrase that follows the plural subject 'rooms'.
  • Part (B) 'the guest' is the object of the preposition 'for', completing the sentence logically.

Why Other Options Were Wrong

  • Option A: The sequence ABCD creates the sentence 'posh, air-conditioned, the guest, are available for, fully furnished rooms,' which is grammatically incorrect and nonsensical. The object 'the guest' cannot come between the adjectives and the verb.
  • Option C: The sequence ACBD forms 'posh, air-conditioned, are available for, the guest, fully furnished rooms.' This structure is incorrect because the verb phrase 'are available for' separates the adjectives from the noun 'rooms' they are meant to describe.
  • Option D: The sequence ABDC results in 'posh, air-conditioned, the guest, fully furnished rooms, are available for.' This is incorrect as it places the object 'the guest' between the adjectives and the subject 'rooms', breaking the descriptive link.

Clinical Relevance
  • Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Sentence Rearrangement as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
  • While this is a general English question, strong communication and documentation skills are critical in nursing. The ability to construct clear, grammatically correct sentences is essential for writing accurate patient notes, reports, and care plans.
  • Clear documentation prevents misinterpretation, ensuring patient safety and continuity of care.
  • What if the sentence fragments were related to a patient instruction, such as '(A) with a full glass of water, (B) the medication, (C) should be taken, (D) once daily'? An incorrect arrangement could lead to a medication error. The correct order (B-C-D-A) is vital for patient safety.
How to Approach the Question
  • First, read all the given fragments to get a general idea of the topic.
  • Identify the part that most likely starts the sentence. Often, this is the main subject or an independent clause.
  • Look for connections between the fragments. For example, find the noun and the adjectives that describe it (A describes D).
  • Identify the subject-verb agreement. The plural subject 'rooms' (D) must be followed by the plural verb 'are' (C).
  • Connect prepositional phrases. The preposition 'for' in (C) needs an object, which is 'the guest' in (B).
  • Arrange the fragments based on these grammatical links and check if the resulting sentence is logical and coherent.
