Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Correct sentence: I find nothing further of any theatrical interest until I come to the following written about for months later.
Why this order works:
Begin with the complete main clause "I find nothing further." Segments that start with prepositions or are clearly continuations cannot stand alone.
After "I find nothing further," the next portion must be the prepositional phrase that follows it: "of any theatrical interest." The word "of" naturally follows "further."
Next comes the temporal/subordinate clause "until I come to the following," which attaches to the main clause to indicate when nothing of interest was found.
Finally, the phrase "written about for months later" modifies "the following," completing the sentence.
Therefore the correct assembly is the sentence given above.
