Question 111
MediumOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. although he is
Q. can repair
R. only fourteen, my brother
S. almost any kind of machine
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
"Although" begins a clause: P "although he is", and R completes it, "only fourteen,", then brings the main subject.
Q gives the subject its verb, "can repair", and S says what he repairs.
So the order is PRQS: "Although he is only fourteen, my brother can repair almost any kind of machine."
Worth noting
PQRS puts "can repair" straight after "he is", which leaves "only fourteen, my brother" in the middle.
