Question 224
MediumOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. the new rule says
Q. fifty metres of
R. that no vehicle may
S. the school gate
T. be parked within
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
P has the subject and the verb, and "says" is followed by a "that" clause: R, which ends on "may".
"May" needs a plain verb: T "be parked within", and "within" needs a distance: Q, which "of" links to S.
So the order is PRTQS: "The new rule says that no vehicle may be parked within fifty metres of the school gate."
Worth noting
RPTQS opens with "that no vehicle may", which leaves "the new rule says" after the words it introduces.
