Note: in the first sentence, the correct word is "aerial", not "serial".
Answer and Explanation:
A phrasal verb is an idiomatic phrase formed by a verb and a preposition, a verb and an adverb, or a combination of both. In the sentences we are re-ordering here, we have the following phrasal verbs:
act up --> to malfunction
ask over --> to invite to one's house
blow up --> to explode
break off --> to stop
bring up --> to raise
burst into --> to enter suddenly
bring in --> to introduce something new
bring out --> to produce
<u>The correct order for the sentences is:</u>
<u>1. The TV is acting up again. I think it's the aerial.
</u>
<u>
2. I want to ask Pete over to watch the game on TV.
</u>
<u>3. The building blew up because of the bomb.
</u>
<u>4. He broke off from what he was doing to make a call.
</u>
<u>5. I was brought up by my Aunt Sally.
</u>
<u>
6. John burst into the kitchen and said the police were at the door.
</u>
<u>7. Our office is bringing in a new policy of paying for photocopies!
</u>
<u>8. My favorite author is bringing out a new novel.</u>
Answer:
B
Explanation:
The sentence will be written as if it were an ordinary sentence, yet the writer doesn't realize that there is a word (often a verb) missing.
Adverbs typically end in -ly but in this case the word should be "too"
