Question 210
MediumOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. in the pipes froze
Q. and we had
R. that the water
S. no water for two days
T. it was so cold
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
T begins "so ... that": "it was so cold", and R brings "that" and the result's subject.
P completes "the water in the pipes" and gives it the verb "froze". Q adds a second result with "and we had", completed by S.
So the order is TRPQS: "It was so cold that the water in the pipes froze and we had no water for two days."
Worth noting
RTPQS opens with "that the water", with no "so" before it for "that" to answer.
