Options for question 107

Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. R is the main clause, and "asked me" is followed by "whether" and a clause: P.

  2. "Finished" needs an object: S "my homework before", and "before" is followed by an -ing word: Q.

  3. So the order is RPSQ: "My father asked me whether I had finished my homework before going out to play."

Worth noting

RSQP puts "my homework before going out to play" straight after "asked me", and leaves "whether I had finished" at the end with no object.
