Question 222
MediumOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. based on, but
Q. the film was
R. the children enjoyed it
S. not as good as
T. the book it was
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Q ends on "was", and S begins a comparison, "not as good as", which needs the other thing.
T "the book it was" is completed by P "based on", then "but" brings the contrast: R.
So the order is QSTPR: "The film was not as good as the book it was based on, but the children enjoyed it."
Worth noting
QSPTR puts "based on, but" before "the book it was", which leaves "as good as" pointing at "based on".
