Question 19
EasyOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. the little girl hid
Q. find her during the game
R. behind the curtain so that
S. her brother would not
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
P has the subject and the verb. Hid where? R, which ends on "so that", a purpose.
"So that" needs a clause: S "her brother would not", and "would not" needs a verb: Q.
So the order is PRSQ: "The little girl hid behind the curtain so that her brother would not find her during the game."
Worth noting
PSRQ puts "her brother would not" right after "hid", so "behind the curtain so that" lands between "would not" and "find".
