Question 157
EasyOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. last week, so my father
Q. took it to a shop
R. to have it repaired
S. the hall stopped working
T. the old clock in
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
T begins the subject and ends on "in", which needs a place: S "the hall", with the verb "stopped working".
P says when and brings "so", the result: "my father". Q gives him his verb, and R says why.
So the order is TSPQR: "The old clock in the hall stopped working last week, so my father took it to a shop to have it repaired."
Worth noting
TPSQR puts "last week, so my father" straight after "in", which leaves "in" with no place.
