Options for question 196

CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. "If" begins the condition: Q "if the machine is", and P completes the verb, "not cleaned after", which needs a time: R "every use,".

  2. The comma ends the condition and brings the subject, "the blades". T gives them their verb, and S says how fast.

  3. 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".
