Options for question 6

Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. R ends with a comma, so a main clause follows it: P "make sure that you have".

  2. "You have" needs a past form of a verb: Q "switched off the fan". S begins with "and", so it adds a second job to the first.

  3. So the order is RPQS: "Before you leave the house, make sure that you have switched off the fan and locked the back door."

Worth noting

PRSQ splits "you have" from "switched off", and leaves "switched off the fan" dangling at the end after "and locked the back door".
