Question 241
HardOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. the city all her life,
Q. the quiet of the village
R. hard to get used to
S. my aunt found it
T. having lived in
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
T is an opening phrase ending on "in", which needs a place: P "the city all her life,". The comma brings the subject.
S gives my aunt her verb, "found it", and R says how she found it. "Used to" needs a noun: Q.
So the order is TPSRQ: "Having lived in the city all her life, my aunt found it hard to get used to the quiet of the village."
Worth noting
PTSRQ opens with "the city all her life,", which leaves "having lived in" after the place it needs.
