Question 183
EasyOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. knocked over
Q. the cat jumped
R. a glass of milk
S. onto the table and
T. that was left there
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Q has the subject and the verb, and S says where and brings "and", a second action.
P is that action, which needs an object: R. T says which glass.
So the order is QSPRT: "The cat jumped onto the table and knocked over a glass of milk that was left there."
Worth noting
QSPTR puts "that was left there" before "a glass of milk", which leaves "knocked over" with the wrong words after it.
