Question 72
MediumOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. the bus, the students
Q. instead of taking
R. decided to walk
S. to the museum together
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
"Instead of" needs an -ing word: Q "instead of taking", then taking what: P "the bus," followed by the main subject.
R gives the students their verb, and "walk" needs a place: S.
So the order is QPRS: "Instead of taking the bus, the students decided to walk to the museum together."
Worth noting
QRPS puts "decided to walk" after "taking", which makes no sense and cuts "taking" off from "the bus".
