Question 84
MediumOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. the old temple, built
Q. still stands on
R. the bank of the river
S. more than a thousand years ago,
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
P names the subject and begins a phrase about it with "built". S says when, closed by a comma.
Then the temple's verb: Q "still stands on", and "on" needs a place: R.
So the order is PSQR: "The old temple, built more than a thousand years ago, still stands on the bank of the river."
Worth noting
PQRS puts "still stands on the bank of the river" straight after "built", which leaves "more than a thousand years ago," at the end.
