Options:
- a) QRSP
- b) SPQR
- c) PQSR
- d) RPSQ
- a) QRSP
- b) SPQR
- c) PQSR
- d) RPSQ
correct answer : c)
Explanation:
S1 introduces the term. P sets up that the term is interpreted differently. Q and R give two main derivations (suf and safa). S tells what the Arabic term for it is. S6 provides yet another possible derivation (suffa), which concludes the list. Hence, PQSR is the correct sequence.
