EasyOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. school, we saw
Q. slowly along
R. on the way to
S. an elephant walking
T. the side of the road
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
R begins a phrase ending on "to", which needs a place: P "school," then the subject and the verb, "we saw".
Saw what? S, and Q says how it walked, ending on "along", which needs a place: T.
So the order is RPSQT: "On the way to school, we saw an elephant walking slowly along the side of the road."
Worth noting
PRSQT opens with "school, we saw", which leaves "on the way to" after the place it needs.
