EasyOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. your letters in a box
Q. made for me
R. I have kept all
S. that my grandfather
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B
Correct answer: B
Explanation
R ends on "all", which needs a noun: P "your letters in a box".
S begins a clause about the box, and "my grandfather" needs a verb: Q "made for me".
So the order is RPSQ: "I have kept all your letters in a box that my grandfather made for me."
Worth noting
RSPQ puts "that my grandfather" straight after "all", which cuts "all" off from "your letters".
