Question 243
HardOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. to board the boat
Q. that she refused
R. of the water
S. even with a life jacket
T. such was her fear
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
"Such was her fear" is a fixed frame: T, then R says fear of what.
Q brings "that" and the result, and "refused" needs "to" and a verb: P. S adds a condition.
So the order is TRQPS: "Such was her fear of the water that she refused to board the boat even with a life jacket."
Worth noting
TQRPS puts "that she refused" straight after "her fear", which cuts "her fear" off from "of the water".
