Question 136
HardOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. that several trees
Q. pulled out by their roots
R. along the highway were
S. so strong was the wind
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
"So strong was the wind" turns the usual order round, and "so" is answered by "that": S, then P.
R completes the subject, "several trees along the highway", and gives it "were", which needs a past form: Q.
So the order is SPRQ: "So strong was the wind that several trees along the highway were pulled out by their roots."
Worth noting
PSRQ opens with "that several trees", with no "so" before it for "that" to answer.
