MediumOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. the village, depends
Q. my father, like
R. most farmers in
S. on the rains
T. for a good harvest
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Q names the subject and begins a comparison with "like", which needs whom: R "most farmers in".
P completes "in the village," and gives the father his verb, "depends", which is followed by "on": S. T says for what.
So the order is QRPST: "My father, like most farmers in the village, depends on the rains for a good harvest."
Worth noting
RQPST opens with "most farmers in", which leaves "my father, like" after the people it compares him with.
