Question 122
HardOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. such was the noise
Q. from the building site
R. to be heard across the table
S. that we had to shout
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
"Such was the noise ... that" is a fixed frame: P opens it, and Q says where the noise came from.
S brings "that" and the result, and R says why they shouted.
So the order is PQSR: "Such was the noise from the building site that we had to shout to be heard across the table."
Worth noting
QPSR opens with "from the building site", a phrase with nothing to attach to. "Such was the noise" must come first.
