The correct answer is option 2) i.e. QPRS.

Key Points

• Part ‘Q’ is the subject of the given sentence with a noun ‘players’. Hence part ‘Q’ should be the first part of the given sentence. The basic structure of a sentence is Subject + Verb + Object.
• Only part 'P' is starting with a verb ‘are’ and as we know that verb follows the subject, hence the verb ‘are’ of the part ‘P’ follows the subject ‘players’ of the part ‘Q’.
• ‘To’ of part ‘R’ links to the verb ‘allowed’ of part ‘P’. The verb ‘allow’ is called ‘causative’ as it expresses how one person or thing causes something else to happen. Hence ‘R’ follows ‘P’.
• Part ‘S’ is concluding the sentence and also ‘to change’ of part ‘R’ links to ‘unless’ of the part ‘S’.
• Thus, the correct order is QPRS.

​Correct sentence: "Players are not allowed to change to a different position unless there is a special requirement."
