Question 151
EasyOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. his field to check
Q. whether the rain had
R. the farmer woke up
S. early and walked to
T. damaged his wheat
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
R has the subject and the verb, and S adds a second action ending on "walked to", which needs a place.
P is that place and says why he went: "to check". Check what? Q "whether the rain had", and "had" needs a past form: T.
So the order is RSPQT: "The farmer woke up early and walked to his field to check whether the rain had damaged his wheat."
Worth noting
RPSQT puts "his field to check" straight after "woke up", which leaves "early and walked to" pointing at "whether".
