Question 196
MediumOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. not cleaned after
Q. if the machine is
R. every use, the blades
S. within a month
T. will become blunt
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
"If" begins the condition: Q "if the machine is", and P completes the verb, "not cleaned after", which needs a time: R "every use,".
The comma ends the condition and brings the subject, "the blades". T gives them their verb, and S says how fast.
So the order is QPRTS: "If the machine is not cleaned after every use, the blades will become blunt within a month."
Worth noting
QRPTS puts "every use, the blades" straight after "is", which cuts "is" off from "not cleaned".
