Options for question 98

Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. R is the main clause, and "told" is followed by "not to" and a verb: S "not to go near".

  2. "Near" needs a place: Q "the river until", and "until" needs a clause: P.

  3. So the order is RSQP: "The children were told not to go near the river until the water level fell."

Worth noting

SRQP opens with "not to go near", which has no subject or main verb.
