Question 205
MediumOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. will lose their crops
Q. will go hungry
R. soon, the farmers
S. unless the rains come
T. and many families
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
"Unless" begins the condition: S, completed by R "soon," and the main subject, "the farmers".
P gives the farmers their verb, and T adds a second result with "and", whose verb is Q.
So the order is SRPTQ: "Unless the rains come soon, the farmers will lose their crops and many families will go hungry."
Worth noting
RSPTQ opens with "soon, the farmers", which leaves "unless the rains come" after the clause it should begin.
