Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (C) P–3; Q–1; R–4; S–2

Explanation

A floating floor acoustically isolates a surface(3); a float valve controls water level(1); a metal float is a finishing/plastering tool(4); free float is scheduling allowance(2). Thus C. More precisely, free float does not delay a successor’s early start, not merely the final project completion.
