Question 73
MediumOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. my cousin since
Q. I have not seen
R. three years ago
S. he moved to Pune
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Q "I have not seen" needs whom: P "my cousin since". "Since" is followed by a point in time or a clause.
S is that clause, "he moved to Pune", and R says when he moved.
So the order is QPSR: "I have not seen my cousin since he moved to Pune three years ago."
Worth noting
QPRS reads "since three years ago", which is wrong English: "since" needs a point in time, such as "since 2023", not a length of time with "ago".
