Question 223
MediumOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. the doctor advised
Q. up sugar and
R. an hour every day
S. my father to give
T. to walk for half
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
P has the subject and the verb, and "advised" is followed by whom and "to": S "my father to give".
"Give" is completed by "up": Q "up sugar and". "And" brings a second piece of advice, "to walk for half": T, completed by R.
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".
