Discussion
Select the one which conveys the meaning of the sentence correctly.
Answer: D
Correct answer: In the long room at 4 o'clock there will be a meeting of all the boys who play cricket and football.
The two place-and-time phrases are moved to the front, which leaves a meeting of all the boys who play cricket and football unbroken. Nothing can then be misread as attaching to the wrong noun.
Why the others fail:
- Putting in the long room at 4 o'clock after meeting separates it from of all the boys.
- Putting it at the end makes it look as though the boys play cricket and football in the long room at four.
- There will be in the long room at 4 o'clock a meeting… - the phrases interrupt there will be and its subject.
