Question 125
HardOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. has alarmed scientists
Q. around the world
R. the ice in the Arctic is melting
S. the speed at which
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
S is the start of the subject, "the speed at which", and "at which" needs a clause: R.
Then the subject's verb: P "has alarmed scientists", and Q says where they are.
So the order is SRPQ: "The speed at which the ice in the Arctic is melting has alarmed scientists around the world."
Worth noting
SPRQ puts "has alarmed scientists" after "at which", which gives "at which" a verb with no subject.
