Options for question 88

Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. Q is an opening phrase with a comma, and it describes the children, so P follows with them and their verb.

  2. Found what? S "a turtle that had", and "had" needs a past form: R "been caught in a fishing net".

  3. 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".
