P. jobs to the families
Q. promised to give
R. whose land was
S. taken for the factory
T. the company has
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A
Correct answer: A
Explanation
T ends on "has", which needs a past form: Q "promised to give".
Give what, to whom? P. "Whose" needs a noun and a verb: R "land was", which needs a past form: S.
So the order is TQPRS: "The company has promised to give jobs to the families whose land was taken for the factory."
Worth noting
QTPRS opens with "promised to give", which has no subject.
