Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Correct Answer: DABC
Explanation
• Part D introduces the main subject and action: "I was rushing to pack for a...", making it the opening segment.
• Part D ends with the indefinite article 'a', which naturally pairs with the singular noun phrase 'last-minute trip' in part A.
• Part A concludes with the phrasal verb 'ended up', which requires a gerund (-ing verb form). This connects smoothly to 'leaving' in part B.
• Part C completes the thought by specifying the location ('on the bedroom chair') where the sweater was left.
Complete Sentence: "I was rushing to pack for a last-minute trip and ended up leaving my favourite sweater on the bedroom chair."
