Options for question 96

Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. "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".

  2. P gives "it" its verb, "started to rain", and "and" brings Q.

  3. 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.
