Question 147
HardOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. tired as she
Q. was, the nurse stayed with
R. the doctor arrived
S. the patient until
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
"Tired as she was" means "although she was tired": P and Q complete it, and Q brings the main clause, "the nurse stayed with".
"With" needs a person: S "the patient until", and "until" needs a clause: R.
So the order is PQSR: "Tired as she was, the nurse stayed with the patient until the doctor arrived."
Worth noting
PSQR puts "the patient until" between "she" and "was", which breaks "tired as she was" in two.
