Question 149
HardOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. the question of who
Q. has not yet been
R. should pay for the repairs
S. settled by the court
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
P begins the subject, and "who" needs a clause: R "should pay for the repairs".
Then the subject's verb: Q "has not yet been", which needs a past form: S "settled by the court".
So the order is PRQS: "The question of who should pay for the repairs has not yet been settled by the court."
Worth noting
PQRS puts "has not yet been" right after "who", which leaves "should pay for the repairs" with no subject.
