Question 75
MediumOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. the chess tournament is
Q. and has never had a coach
R. only eleven years old
S. the girl who won
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
S begins the subject with "the girl who won", and "won" needs an object: P "the chess tournament", then the girl's verb, "is".
R completes "is", and Q adds a second fact with "and".
So the order is SPRQ: "The girl who won the chess tournament is only eleven years old and has never had a coach."
Worth noting
SRPQ puts "only eleven years old" straight after "who won", which makes the girl win her age.
