Additional Information
- Jumbled-sentence questions are solved from anchors: find the phrase that can open the sentence, then follow articles, pronouns and connectors.
- A fragment beginning with a connector such as *and* or a pronoun such as *they* can never come first, since it needs something before it.
- Prepositional and verb phrases must attach to the right subject — reading each candidate ordering aloud usually exposes the mismatch.
- Once assembled, check that the sentence has exactly one finite verb per clause and that the tense stays consistent.
