Question 188
MediumOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. expensive, the hall was
Q. though the tickets were
R. come from far away
S. full of people who had
T. to hear the singer
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
"Though" begins a clause: Q "though the tickets were", finished by P "expensive," which then brings the main clause, "the hall was".
S completes "was full of people who had", and "had" needs a past form: R. T says why they came.
So the order is QPSRT: "Though the tickets were expensive, the hall was full of people who had come from far away to hear the singer."
Worth noting
PQSRT opens with "expensive, the hall was", which leaves "though the tickets were" after the clause it should begin.
