Arrange the words to form a grammatically correct sentence. Click the words in the correct order.
Select the sentence that is grammatically better and more clearly expressed.
Sentence A is correct. It properly uses the present perfect tense "has finished" with the future tense "will go" in a conditional structure. Sentence B incorrectly mixes tenses with "will finish" and "goes" in a way that doesn't follow standard English time sequence.
Sentence B is correct. The word "despite" is a preposition that should not be followed by "of." The correct usage is simply "despite" followed directly by the noun phrase. "Despite of" is a common error.
Sentence B is correct. When referring to groups or teams as single entities, "which" is generally more appropriate than "who," which is reserved for individuals or groups considered as separate individuals. A team is considered a singular entity, so "which" is the better choice.
Sentence B is correct. The verb "have" should agree with "students" (plural) rather than "one" because the relative clause "who have received an award" modifies "students," not just "one." The structure "one of the [plural noun] who [plural verb]" is the standard pattern.
Sentence B is correct. When "neither...nor" connects subjects of different numbers, the verb typically agrees with the nearest subject. Since "students" (plural) is closest to the verb, "were" (plural) is correct.
Sentence B is correct. In third conditional sentences (hypothetical past situations), the correct structure is "If + past perfect, would have + past participle." Sentence A incorrectly uses "would have" in both parts of the conditional.
Both can be correct, but Sentence B is traditionally more correct. "Data" is technically the plural form of "datum," so it should take a plural verb "show." However, in modern usage, "data" is increasingly treated as a mass noun taking a singular verb "shows," especially in non-scientific contexts. In formal academic writing for IGCSE, treating "data" as plural is generally preferred.
