Question 167
EasyOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. the lights, locked
Q. the door and went
R. she was very tired
S. she turned off
T. to bed early because
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
S has the subject and the first action, which needs an object: P "the lights,", then "locked", the second action.
"Locked" needs an object: Q "the door", then "and went", the third. T says where and brings "because", and R gives the reason.
So the order is SPQTR: "She turned off the lights, locked the door and went to bed early because she was very tired."
Worth noting
SQPTR puts "the door and went" straight after "turned off", which makes her turn off the door.
