Correct answer
C. Q S P R
Step-by-step solution
The sentence begins with the subject phrase Q: 'the beneficial outcome of'. This is followed by S: 'a virtuous life is peace of mind', which completes the subject and introduces the verb and part of the predicate. The conjunction 'and' in P: 'and contentment on account of a life lived' connects 'peace of mind' with 'contentment'. Finally, R: 'well without retribution or rebuke' modifies 'a life lived'.
The complete meaningful sentence is: 'The beneficial outcome of a virtuous life is peace of mind and contentment on account of a life lived well without retribution or rebuke.'
The correct sequence is Q S P R.
Answer: Q S P R
The complete meaningful sentence is: 'The beneficial outcome of a virtuous life is peace of mind and contentment on account of a life lived well without retribution or rebuke.'
