P. the new furniture
Q. once the paint
R. has dried, the room
S. will be ready for
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer D
Correct answer: D
Explanation
"Once" begins a time clause: Q, then R "has dried," and the main subject, "the room".
S gives the room its verb, "will be ready for", and "for" needs a noun: P.
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".
