The first and last parts of the sentence are marked 1 and 6. The rest of the sentence is split into five parts and marked i, ii, iii, iv and v. These five parts are not given in their proper order. Frim the options given, please choose the most appropriate order to form a coherent, logical and grammatically correct sentence.
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
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."
