Options for question 129

CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. Q begins the subject, "the fact that he had", and "had" needs a past form: R "never flown before".

  2. Then the subject's verb: S "did not stop him from", and "from" needs an -ing word: P.

  3. 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.
