Question 97
MediumOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. and old magazines
Q. but also pens, maps
R. the shop on the corner
S. sells not only books
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
R is the subject, and S gives the verb and "not only books".
"Not only" is answered by "but also": Q, whose list ends with "maps", and P closes it with "and old magazines".
So the order is RSQP: "The shop on the corner sells not only books but also pens, maps and old magazines."
Worth noting
RQPS puts "but also pens, maps" straight after "the shop on the corner", before the verb and before "not only".
