Options for question 106

CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. "Once" begins a time clause: Q, then R "has dried," and the main subject, "the room".

  2. S gives the room its verb, "will be ready for", and "for" needs a noun: P.

  3. So the order is QRSP: "Once the paint has dried, the room will be ready for the new furniture."

Worth noting

RQSP opens with "has dried, the room", which has no subject for "has dried".
