Q. When yeast is mixed into dough with a little sugar and warm water, it begins to feed.

CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

After the opening sentence, Q is when yeast begins to feed.
P is "as it feeds", S is what "the bubbles" do, and R is "when the bread is baked".
So the order is QPSR.

Worth noting

QPRS bakes the bread before the bubbles have made the dough swell.
