Options for question 4

Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. P has the subject, Ravi, and what he did. R says for how long, then starts a purpose with "so that".

  2. "So that" needs a subject and a verb after it: S "he could buy his sister". Buy her what? Q.

  3. So the order is PRSQ: "Ravi saved his pocket money for six months so that he could buy his sister a bicycle for her birthday."

Worth noting

RPSQ starts with "for six months", a phrase that needs an action before it. Only P can open: it holds the name and the main verb.
