Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Correct Answer: BDCA
Explanation:
• Part B serves as the introductory clause containing the subject and verb: "I unexpectedly ran out of".
• The phrasal verb run out of requires an object, which is provided in part D: "essential items, which required me". This forms the pair B-D.
• The verb required takes the structure require + object + to-infinitive, directly linking part D to part C: "to make a late-night visit".
• Part A completes the thought by indicating the destination of the visit: "to the crowded local store".
Complete Sentence: "I unexpectedly ran out of essential items, which required me to make a late-night visit to the crowded local store."
