MediumOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. has been invited to
Q. everyone except
R. the wedding in Lucknow
S. my younger brother
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Q begins the subject, and "except" needs a person: S.
P gives the verb, "has been invited to", which needs a place or an event: R.
So the order is QSPR: "Everyone except my younger brother has been invited to the wedding in Lucknow."
Worth noting
SQRP opens with "my younger brother", then puts "everyone except" after him, which makes no sense.
