Options for question 142

Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. "Were he to" means "if he were to", and needs a verb: R, then P "apologise to the team,".

  2. The comma ends the condition, and S "the coach might" begins the result, which needs a verb: Q.

  3. So the order is RPSQ: "Were he to apologise to the team, the coach might let him play the final."

Worth noting

PRSQ opens with "apologise to the team," which has no subject. The condition must start with "were he to".
