Question 186
EasyOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. the shop sells
Q. toys made by
R. from their mothers
S. women in the village
T. who learned the craft
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
P has the subject and the verb. Sells what? Q "toys made by", and "by" needs whom: S.
T says which women, and "learned the craft" is finished by where they learned it: R.
So the order is PQSTR: "The shop sells toys made by women in the village who learned the craft from their mothers."
Worth noting
PQTSR puts "who learned the craft" straight after "made by", which leaves "by" with no one after it.
