Options for question 223

Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. P has the subject and the verb, and "advised" is followed by whom and "to": S "my father to give".

  2. "Give" is completed by "up": Q "up sugar and". "And" brings a second piece of advice, "to walk for half": T, completed by R.

  3. So the order is PSQTR: "The doctor advised my father to give up sugar and to walk for half an hour every day."

Worth noting

PQSTR puts "up sugar and" straight after "advised", which cuts "give" off from "up".
