Question 134
HardOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. are visitors allowed to
Q. in the zoo
R. feed the animals
S. under no circumstances
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
"Under no circumstances" at the start turns the verb round: S, then P "are visitors allowed to".
"To" needs a verb: R "feed the animals", and Q says where.
So the order is SPRQ: "Under no circumstances are visitors allowed to feed the animals in the zoo."
Worth noting
SRPQ puts "feed the animals" straight after "under no circumstances", which leaves the turned-round "are visitors allowed to" with no verb after "to".
