Options for question 7

CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. P has the subject and the verb. R says where, and "where" must be followed by a clause.

  2. S starts that clause, "snakes and cats cannot", and "cannot" needs a verb: Q "reach their eggs".

  3. So the order is PRSQ: "Most birds build their nests high in the trees where snakes and cats cannot reach their eggs."

Worth noting

PSRQ puts "snakes and cats cannot" right after "nests", which runs two subjects together and leaves "where" hanging.
