MediumOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. all shops to stop
Q. the government has asked
R. cloth bags instead
S. and to give customers
T. selling plastic bags
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Q has the subject and the verb, and "asked" is followed by whom and "to": P "all shops to stop".
"Stop" is followed by an -ing word: T. S adds a second request with "and to", and R completes it.
So the order is QPTSR: "The government has asked all shops to stop selling plastic bags and to give customers cloth bags instead."
Worth noting
PQTSR opens with "all shops to stop", which has no main verb before it.
