Question 128
HardOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. students leave the hall
Q. collected every answer sheet
R. before the invigilator has
S. on no account should
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
"On no account" at the start turns the verb round: S "on no account should", then the subject and a plain verb: P.
R says until when, and "has" needs a past form: Q "collected every answer sheet".
So the order is SPRQ: "On no account should students leave the hall before the invigilator has collected every answer sheet."
Worth noting
PSRQ opens with "students leave the hall", which could be a plain sentence, but then "on no account should" is left with no subject.
