Question 178
EasyOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. afraid of the dark, so
Q. a small lamp burning
R. the little boy was
S. in his room at night
T. his mother left
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
R ends on "was", which needs a word to describe him: P "afraid of the dark," then "so" brings the result.
T is the result's subject and verb, "his mother left", and Q says what she left. S says where and when.
So the order is RPTQS: "The little boy was afraid of the dark, so his mother left a small lamp burning in his room at night."
Worth noting
RTPQS puts "his mother left" straight after "was", which cuts "was" off from "afraid".
