Options for question 125

Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. S is the start of the subject, "the speed at which", and "at which" needs a clause: R.

  2. Then the subject's verb: P "has alarmed scientists", and Q says where they are.

  3. 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.
