Question 95
MediumOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. made by a student
Q. the painting that hangs
R. in the hall was
S. who later became famous
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Q begins the subject, "the painting that hangs", and R says where and gives the main verb, "was".
"Was" needs a past form: P "made by a student", and S begins with "who", which describes the student.
So the order is QRPS: "The painting that hangs in the hall was made by a student who later became famous."
Worth noting
QPRS puts "made by a student" straight after "hangs", which leaves "in the hall was" with nothing after "was".
