Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Correct order: RSQP
Reconstructed sentence: My uncle who is a Government engineer frequently has to stay for several days in very remote places, camping out in the Inspection Bungalows that have been built in the country districts of India for this purpose.
Step 1: "who is a Government engineer" must immediately follow "My uncle" because it is a relative clause that describes him.
Step 2: "frequently has to stay for several days in very remote places" continues the main clause and logically follows the description of the uncle.
Step 3: "camping out in the Inspection Bungalows" explains how he stays and therefore follows the clause about staying.
Step 4: "that have been built in the country districts of India" modifies "Inspection Bungalows," so it must come immediately after the phrase "Inspection Bungalows."
Result: Putting the parts in the order RSQP yields a clear, grammatical sentence with all modifiers attached to the words they describe.
