Question 230
HardOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. so well did the
Q. that the audience
R. rose to its feet at the end
S. young actor play
T. the part of the king
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
"So well did" turns the usual order round: P "so well did the", then S "young actor play", the subject and a plain verb.
Play what? T. "So ... that" is a pair, so Q brings "that" and the result's subject, and R its verb.
So the order is PSTQR: "So well did the young actor play the part of the king that the audience rose to its feet at the end."
Worth noting
SPTQR opens with "young actor play", which leaves "so well did the" after its own subject.
