Options for question 183

Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. Q has the subject and the verb, and S says where and brings "and", a second action.

  2. P is that action, which needs an object: R. T says which glass.

  3. 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.
