Question 235
HardOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. the man whose
Q. house was destroyed
R. by his neighbours
S. been given shelter
T. in the fire has
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
P begins the subject, and "whose" needs a noun and a verb: Q "house was destroyed".
T says how and brings the main verb, "has", which needs a past form: S. R says by whom.
So the order is PQTSR: "The man whose house was destroyed in the fire has been given shelter by his neighbours."
Worth noting
PQSTR puts "been given shelter" straight after "was destroyed", which leaves "in the fire has" with nothing after "has".
