Options for question 12

Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. S has the subject and the verb. Sold what, and where? R.

  2. Q adds a second action with "and", ending on "a new", which needs a noun: P "pair of shoes".

  3. So the order is SRQP: "The farmer sold his mangoes at the market and bought a new pair of shoes for his son."

Worth noting

SRPQ ends on "and bought a new", which leaves "a new" with no noun after it.
