Options for question 205

Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. "Unless" begins the condition: S, completed by R "soon," and the main subject, "the farmers".

  2. P gives the farmers their verb, and T adds a second result with "and", whose verb is Q.

  3. 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.
