Question 162
EasyOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. was over, the players
Q. shook hands with
R. each other and
S. walked off the field
T. after the match
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
"After" begins a time clause: T, finished by P "was over," which brings the main subject, "the players".
Q gives them their verb, "shook hands with", which needs whom: R. "And" brings S.
So the order is TPQRS: "After the match was over, the players shook hands with each other and walked off the field."
Worth noting
PTQRS opens with "was over, the players", which has no subject for "was over".
