Show answer and solution
Answer: (D) 2-1-3-4
The sentence begins with the subject (2), followed by the verb group (1), then the place (3) and the time (4): 'The engineer has been working on the bridge since last winter.' The other orders break the grammatical sequence. Start by finding the subject and the verb, then attach the place, time and manner phrases in their usual order, and finally test the whole sentence by reading it aloud mentally.
