Question 180
EasyOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. slipped on a banana
Q. the children laughed
R. into the tub of water
S. skin and fell
T. when the clown
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Q has the subject and the verb, and T begins a time clause with its subject, "the clown".
P gives the clown his verb and ends on "banana", which S completes: "skin". "And fell" needs a place: R.
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".
