EasyOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. two books at a time
Q. for two weeks
R. the library allows
S. each student to borrow
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer C
Correct answer: C
Explanation
R has the subject and the verb, and "allows" is followed by who and "to": S "each student to borrow".
Borrow what? P "two books at a time", and Q says for how long.
So the order is RSPQ: "The library allows each student to borrow two books at a time for two weeks."
Worth noting
SRPQ opens with "each student to borrow", which has no verb before it. "The library allows" must come first.
