Question 74
MediumOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. leave my father gets
Q. depends on how much
R. whether we go to
S. the hills or the sea
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
A "whether" clause can be a subject: R begins it, and S gives the two choices.
Then the verb: Q "depends on how much", and "how much" needs a noun: P "leave my father gets".
So the order is RSQP: "Whether we go to the hills or the sea depends on how much leave my father gets."
Worth noting
SRQP opens with "the hills or the sea" and brings "whether we go to" after it, so the choice comes before the question.
