Answer

Step-by-step solution

The correct sequence of the jumbled parts to form a meaningful sentence is RQSP. The sentence begins with the adverbial phrase 'somewhere in the back of her mind' (R), followed by the main clause 'she knew that the answer' (Q). The phrase 'to her questions about life' (S) modifies 'the answer', and 'lay outside her existing life' (P) completes the subordinate clause indicating where the answer lay. The complete sentence is: 'Somewhere in the back of her mind she knew that the answer to her questions about life lay outside her existing life.' Answer: RQSP
