Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Answer: PSRQ
Sequence expanded: 'posh, air-conditioned' + 'fully furnished rooms' + 'are available for' + 'gentleman of taste'
Reconstructed sentence: I read an advertisement that said posh, air-conditioned fully furnished rooms are available for gentleman of taste.
Step 1: Identify that 'posh, air-conditioned' is an adjective phrase meant to describe the rooms.
Step 2: Place the adjective phrase immediately before the noun phrase 'fully furnished rooms' so they form a single noun phrase.
Step 3: Follow the noun phrase with the verb phrase 'are available for'.
Step 4: Place the beneficiary phrase 'gentleman of taste' after the verb phrase.
Note: For natural punctuation, insert commas between coordinated adjectives and include an article before 'gentleman of taste' if required by context: "posh, air-conditioned, fully furnished rooms are available for a gentleman of taste."
