UPSC 2017 CDS I English Paper

‘Q’ will be the first part of the given sequence as per the subject verb agreement rule, that is, “the man looked”. ‘P’ will come next as it talks about the duration of the look, that is, a moment. ‘S’ will come next because it tells the after event of the ‘look for a moment’, that is, the person was turned upside down. ‘R’ will be the last part of the given sequence as ‘emptied my pockets’ is used in relation to ‘turned me upside down’. Hence, QPSR is the correct sequence. Thus, option (c) is correct.
