Question 143
HardOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. written in small letters,
Q. the bridge was unsafe
R. warned visitors that
S. the notice, which was
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
S names the subject and opens a "which" clause, completed by P and closed by a comma.
Then the notice's verb: R "warned visitors that", and "that" needs a clause: Q.
So the order is SPRQ: "The notice, which was written in small letters, warned visitors that the bridge was unsafe."
Worth noting
SRPQ puts "warned visitors that" straight after "which was", which leaves "written in small letters" after "that".
