Question 12
EasyOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. pair of shoes for his son
Q. and bought a new
R. his mangoes at the market
S. the farmer sold
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A
Correct answer: A
Explanation
S has the subject and the verb. Sold what, and where? R.
Q adds a second action with "and", ending on "a new", which needs a noun: P "pair of shoes".
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.
