Question 144
HardOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. the city built
Q. the rainwater
R. a proper drain for
S. it is high time
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A
Correct answer: A
Explanation
"It is high time" is followed by a past form even though it means now: S, then P "the city built".
Built what? R "a proper drain for", and "for" needs what the drain carries: Q.
So the order is SPRQ: "It is high time the city built a proper drain for the rainwater."
Worth noting
PSQR opens with "the city built", which leaves "it is high time" after the verb it should introduce.
