Question 177
EasyOriginal questionRearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.
P. in the garden
Q. the monkeys stole
R. the bananas from
S. our kitchen while
T. we were busy
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Q has the subject and the verb. Stole what? R "the bananas from", and "from" needs a place: S.
S ends on "while", which needs a clause: T, and P says where they were busy.
So the order is QRSTP: "The monkeys stole the bananas from our kitchen while we were busy in the garden."
Worth noting
QSRTP puts "our kitchen while" straight after "stole", which cuts "stole" off from "the bananas".
