EasyOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. the team practised
Q. the final match
R. every evening for
S. a month before
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer D
Correct answer: D
Explanation
P has the subject and the verb. R says when, and "for" needs a length of time: S "a month before".
"Before" needs an event: Q "the final match".
So the order is PRSQ: "The team practised every evening for a month before the final match."
Worth noting
PSRQ puts "a month before" right after "practised", which leaves "every evening for" pointing at "the final match".
