Question 181
EasyOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. because the train from
Q. we waited at
R. Delhi had been delayed
S. by thick fog
T. the station for two hours
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Q ends on "at", which needs a place: T "the station for two hours".
P gives the reason and ends on "from", which needs a place: R "Delhi", with the verb "had been delayed". S says by what.
So the order is QTPRS: "We waited at the station for two hours because the train from Delhi had been delayed by thick fog."
Worth noting
QPTRS puts "because the train from" straight after "at", which leaves "at" with no place.
