View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

PRQS

Why this answer is correct

The correct answer is 'Option 3' i.e. 'PRQS'.

Key Points

  • The correct order for the sentence is PRQS. Here's why:
  • "Our study goes" is the starting clause and should be followed by something that elaborates on what the study aims to do or achieve.
  • P. "beyond LDL cholesterol levels to get" - This segment indicates that the study is aiming to achieve something more than just understanding LDL cholesterol levels.
  • R. "a complete picture of all of the lipoproteins" - This clause elaborates further on what the study is trying to achieve, making it clear that it's not just about LDL cholesterol, but a complete understanding of all lipoproteins.
  • Q. "and the impact of eating walnuts daily" - This adds another dimension to the study. After getting a complete picture of all the lipoproteins, the study is also considering the impact of a specific diet factor - eating walnuts daily.
  • S. "on their potential to improve cardiovascular risk" - Finally, this clause ties everything together by explaining the ultimate aim of the study, which is to understand how all of these factors could potentially improve cardiovascular risk.

Therefore, the rearranged sentence is: "Our study goes beyond LDL cholesterol levels to get a complete picture of all of the lipoproteins and the impact of eating walnuts daily on their potential to improve cardiovascular risk." Hence, the correct answer is PRQS.
