Question 141
HardOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. given the heavy traffic
Q. on the highway, it is
R. reached the hospital in time
S. surprising that the ambulance
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
"Given" means "taking into account", and needs a noun: P, finished by Q "on the highway," with the main clause, "it is".
"It is" needs a word to describe: S "surprising that the ambulance", and R gives the ambulance its verb.
So the order is PQSR: "Given the heavy traffic on the highway, it is surprising that the ambulance reached the hospital in time."
Worth noting
PRSQ puts "reached the hospital in time" right after "the heavy traffic", as if the traffic reached the hospital.
