Question 198
MediumOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. an accident
Q. the man who sold
R. never been in
S. us that it had
T. us the car told
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Q begins the subject, and "who sold" needs its objects: T "us the car", then the main verb, "told".
"Told" needs whom and what: S "us that it had", and "had" needs a past form: R. "In" needs a noun: P.
So the order is QTSRP: "The man who sold us the car told us that it had never been in an accident."
Worth noting
QSTRP puts "us that it had" straight after "who sold", which leaves "the car told" as if the car were speaking.
