Question 174
EasyOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. the old woman sat
Q. the people who came to pray
R. on the steps of the temple
S. selling flowers and
T. small lamps to
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
P has the subject and the verb. Sat where? R.
S says what she was doing, "selling flowers and", and T adds more of what she sold, ending on "to", which needs whom: Q.
So the order is PRSTQ: "The old woman sat on the steps of the temple selling flowers and small lamps to the people who came to pray."
Worth noting
PSRTQ puts "selling flowers and" before the steps, which splits "sat" from where she sat.
