Options for question 23

Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. R has the subject and the verb. Added what? P "a pinch of salt to", and "to" needs a noun: S "the dal before".

  2. "Before" is followed by an -ing word here: Q "serving it to the guests".

  3. So the order is RPSQ: "The cook added a pinch of salt to the dal before serving it to the guests."

Worth noting

PRSQ opens with "a pinch of salt to", which has no verb before it.
