Question 88
MediumOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. the children found
Q. walking along the beach,
R. been caught in a fishing net
S. a turtle that had
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Q is an opening phrase with a comma, and it describes the children, so P follows with them and their verb.
Found what? S "a turtle that had", and "had" needs a past form: R "been caught in a fishing net".
So the order is QPSR: "Walking along the beach, the children found a turtle that had been caught in a fishing net."
Worth noting
QSPR makes "walking along the beach" describe the turtle, and leaves "had" cut off from "been caught".
