Question 161
EasyOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. gives them to the neighbours
Q. my grandfather grows
R. tomatoes and chillies
S. behind our house and
T. in a small garden
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Q has the subject and the verb. Grows what? R. Where? T, and S says where the garden is, then brings "and".
"And" adds a second action: P.
So the order is QRTSP: "My grandfather grows tomatoes and chillies in a small garden behind our house and gives them to the neighbours."
Worth noting
QRSTP puts "behind our house and" before the garden, so "and" leads to "in a small garden" and "gives them" is left with no link.
