Options for question 241

Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. T is an opening phrase ending on "in", which needs a place: P "the city all her life,". The comma brings the subject.

  2. S gives my aunt her verb, "found it", and R says how she found it. "Used to" needs a noun: Q.

  3. 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.
