Question 216
MediumOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. says that there will
Q. be heavy rain in
R. the next three days
S. the weather report
T. the hills over
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
S is the subject, and P gives its verb and begins a "that" clause: "there will".
"Will" needs a plain verb: Q "be heavy rain in", and "in" needs a place: T "the hills over". "Over" needs a time: R.
So the order is SPQTR: "The weather report says that there will be heavy rain in the hills over the next three days."
Worth noting
PSQTR opens with "says that there will", which has no subject.
