Question 71
MediumOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. the man who repaired
Q. selling tiles and paint
R. our roof last year
S. has opened a shop
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
P names the subject, "the man who repaired", and R finishes that clause with what he repaired and when.
Then the man's own verb: S "has opened a shop", and Q says what it sells.
So the order is PRSQ: "The man who repaired our roof last year has opened a shop selling tiles and paint."
Worth noting
RPSQ opens with "our roof last year", which leaves "the man who repaired" without the thing he repaired.
