Q. till tomorrow
R. and the match
S. raining since morning,
T. has been postponed
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A
Correct answer: A
Explanation
P ends on "has been", which needs an -ing form: S "raining since morning,".
"And" brings a second clause: R is its subject, T its verb, and Q says till when.
So the order is PSRTQ: "It has been raining since morning, and the match has been postponed till tomorrow."
Worth noting
SPRTQ opens with "raining since morning,", which has no subject.
