MediumOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. dry for years, had
Q. surprised to find
R. that the old well,
S. the villagers were
T. filled up after the storm
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
S ends on "were", which needs a word to describe: Q "surprised to find". Find what? A "that" clause: R.
P describes the well between commas and brings "had", which needs a past form: T.
So the order is SQRPT: "The villagers were surprised to find that the old well, dry for years, had filled up after the storm."
Worth noting
QSRPT opens with "surprised to find", which has no subject.
