Question 54

1. Having started
i. In less time than it takes
ii. More than half of your capital
iii. With just $5.8 million
iv. You squandered
v. In seed financing
6. To soft boil an egg

Solution

One clear hint is (i)-6, 'in less time than it takes to soft-boil an egg'. So options B and C are incorrect. Further, (iii) and (v) is also another clear connection as seed financing in (v) refers to the $ 5.8 million in (iii).

1. Having started
iii. With just $5.8 million
v. In seed financing
iv. You squandered
ii. More than half of your capital
i. In less time than it takes
6. To soft boil an egg

So the complete sentence reads:
"Having started with just $5.8 million in seed financing, you squandered more than half of your capital in less time than it takes to soft boil an egg."
