MediumOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. none of the students
Q. the last question
R. able to solve
S. in our class was
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer D
Correct answer: D
Explanation
P begins the subject, and S says which students and brings the verb "was".
"Was" is completed by "able to" and a verb: R "able to solve", and "solve" needs an object: Q.
So the order is PSRQ: "None of the students in our class was able to solve the last question."
Worth noting
SPRQ opens with "in our class was", which has no subject before it.
