Choose the option that completes the second sentence so that it means the same as the first, using the key word.
First sentence: The fire was put out at midnight and not before.
Key word: UNTIL
Second sentence: The fire ___ midnight.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. was not put out until
- Step 1: Check what grammar the key word needs. Step 2. The passive with 'not ... until' expresses that nothing happened before then. Answer: was not put out until. Why not the others: 'When' changes the meaning, 'did not put out' is active and the last has wrong word order.
