CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. "Neither ... nor" is a pair: Q begins it, and P completes it with the verb "knew".

  2. Knew what? R "who had painted", and "painted" needs an object: S.

  3. So the order is QPRS: "Neither the principal nor the teachers knew who had painted the wall outside the library."

Worth noting

PQRS opens with "nor the teachers knew", but "nor" can only follow "neither".
