Options for question 180

Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. Q has the subject and the verb, and T begins a time clause with its subject, "the clown".

  2. P gives the clown his verb and ends on "banana", which S completes: "skin". "And fell" needs a place: R.

  3. So the order is QTPSR: "The children laughed when the clown slipped on a banana skin and fell into the tub of water."

Worth noting

QTSPR puts "skin and fell" straight after "the clown", which cuts "slipped on a banana" off from "skin".
