Question 107
MediumOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. whether I had finished
Q. going out to play
R. my father asked me
S. my homework before
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
R is the main clause, and "asked me" is followed by "whether" and a clause: P.
"Finished" needs an object: S "my homework before", and "before" is followed by an -ing word: Q.
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.
