Question 10
EasyOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. the lunch break
Q. of the classroom as soon as
R. the children ran out
S. the bell rang for
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
R has the subject and the verb, and "ran out" is followed by "of" and a place: Q.
"As soon as" needs a clause: S "the bell rang for", and "for" needs what the bell rang for: P.
So the order is RQSP: "The children ran out of the classroom as soon as the bell rang for the lunch break."
Worth noting
RSQP puts "the bell rang for" straight after "ran out", which leaves "of the classroom" cut off from "ran out".
