Question 85
MediumOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. of the busy road
Q. the traffic police fined
R. parked his truck in the middle
S. the driver who had
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Q has the subject and the verb, and "fined" needs whom: S "the driver who had".
"Had" needs a past form: R "parked his truck in the middle", and "middle" needs "of" and a place: P.
So the order is QSRP: "The traffic police fined the driver who had parked his truck in the middle of the busy road."
Worth noting
QRSP puts "parked his truck in the middle" right after "fined", which leaves "the driver who had" with no verb.
