Question 199
MediumOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. the softer it
Q. leave the rice
R. will become
S. the longer you
T. in water before cooking,
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
"The longer ..., the softer ..." is a pair: S begins it, and Q gives "you" its verb and object.
T finishes the first half with a comma, and P begins the second half, whose verb is R.
So the order is SQTPR: "The longer you leave the rice in water before cooking, the softer it will become."
Worth noting
QSTPR opens with "leave the rice", a verb with no subject, and pushes "the longer you" after it.
