Options for question 170

Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

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

  2. S ends with a comma, and R "so he had to" brings the result, which needs a verb: T.

  3. So the order is QPSRT: "My brother fell asleep in the bus and missed his stop, so he had to walk back two kilometres."

Worth noting

QPRST puts "so he had to" before "missed his stop", which gives the result before the thing that caused it.
