Question 229
HardOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. time by half, but
Q. road cut the journey
R. buses to the village
S. it also brought
T. not only did the new
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
"Not only did" is followed by the subject and a plain verb: T "not only did the new", then Q "road cut the journey".
P completes "the journey time" and brings "but", which is answered by "also": S. R says what it brought.
So the order is TQPSR: "Not only did the new road cut the journey time by half, but it also brought buses to the village."
Worth noting
TQSPR puts "it also brought" before "time by half, but", which breaks "the journey time" in two.
