Question 139
HardOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. learned to use the internet
Q. the villagers, most of
R. whom had never seen a computer,
S. within a few weeks
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Q names the subject and begins "most of", which is completed by "whom": R, closed by a comma.
Then the subject's verb: P "learned to use the internet", and S says how fast.
So the order is QRPS: "The villagers, most of whom had never seen a computer, learned to use the internet within a few weeks."
Worth noting
QPRS puts "learned to use the internet" straight after "most of", which gives "of" no "whom" to finish it.
