Question 189
MediumOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. plant a thousand trees along
Q. the monsoon arrives
R. the committee has decided to
S. in the second week of June
T. the new highway before
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
R ends on "decided to", which needs a verb: P "plant a thousand trees along".
"Along" needs a place: T "the new highway before", and "before" needs a clause: Q. S says when it arrives.
So the order is RPTQS: "The committee has decided to plant a thousand trees along the new highway before the monsoon arrives in the second week of June."
Worth noting
RPQTS puts "the monsoon arrives" straight after "along", as if the trees were planted along the monsoon.
