Options for question 72

Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. "Instead of" needs an -ing word: Q "instead of taking", then taking what: P "the bus," followed by the main subject.

  2. R gives the students their verb, and "walk" needs a place: S.

  3. 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".
