Question 1:
Choose the sentence with the right word order
A. Billy tried an extremely unusual and weird out gear.
B. Billy tried an extremely unusual and weird gear out.
C. Billy tried out an extremely unusual and weird gear.
Feedback The majority of transitive phrasal verbs are separable. Therefore, we can place the particle before the noun objects or after them. But we should remember that we place the particle after the verb if the noun is a part of a long and complicated phrase: tried out an extremely unusual and weird gear (CORRECT) / tried an extremely unusual and weird gear out (WRONG)
D. Tried Billy out an extremely unusual and weird gear.
