Question 82
MediumOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. that fly south every winter
Q. hundreds of birds
R. to rest and feed
S. stop at this lake
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Q begins the subject, and P describes the birds: "that fly south every winter".
Then the subject's own verb: S "stop at this lake", and R says why they stop.
So the order is QPSR: "Hundreds of birds that fly south every winter stop at this lake to rest and feed."
Worth noting
QSPR puts "stop at this lake" before "that fly south every winter", which makes "that fly" describe the lake, and a lake cannot fly.
