Question 38
EasyOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. while playing football
Q. and had to wear
R. Rahul broke his arm
S. a plaster for a month
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A
Correct answer: A
Explanation
R has the subject and the verb, and P says when it happened.
Q adds what followed with "and", and "wear" needs an object: S.
So the order is RPQS: "Rahul broke his arm while playing football and had to wear a plaster for a month."
Worth noting
RQPS puts "while playing football" between "had to wear" and "a plaster", which splits the verb from its object.
