Question 96
MediumOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. started to rain and
Q. I had no umbrella
R. while I was waiting
S. for the bus, it
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
"While" begins a time clause: R "while I was waiting", and "waiting" is followed by "for": S "for the bus,", then the main subject, "it".
P gives "it" its verb, "started to rain", and "and" brings Q.
So the order is RSPQ: "While I was waiting for the bus, it started to rain and I had no umbrella."
Worth noting
SRPQ opens with "for the bus, it", which has no clause before it for "for the bus" to finish.
