Question 129
HardOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. volunteering for the rescue
Q. the fact that he had
R. never flown before
S. did not stop him from
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Q begins the subject, "the fact that he had", and "had" needs a past form: R "never flown before".
Then the subject's verb: S "did not stop him from", and "from" needs an -ing word: P.
So the order is QRSP: "The fact that he had never flown before did not stop him from volunteering for the rescue."
Worth noting
QSRP puts "did not stop him from" right after "had", which leaves "never flown before" with nothing to join.
