Options for question 189

Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. R ends on "decided to", which needs a verb: P "plant a thousand trees along".

  2. "Along" needs a place: T "the new highway before", and "before" needs a clause: Q. S says when it arrives.

  3. 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.
