Question 187
MediumOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. discovered the new species
Q. after her grandmother
R. of frog in the Western Ghats
S. has named it
T. the scientist who
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
T begins the subject, and "who" needs a verb: P "discovered the new species".
R says what kind of species and where. Then the subject's own verb comes: S "has named it". Q says after whom.
So the order is TPRSQ: "The scientist who discovered the new species of frog in the Western Ghats has named it after her grandmother."
Worth noting
TRPSQ puts "of frog in the Western Ghats" right after "who", which gives "who" no verb.
