P. my brother wants to
Q. become a doctor because
R. people who are unwell
S. he likes helping
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer D
Correct answer: D
Explanation
P ends on "wants to", which needs a verb: Q "become a doctor because".
"Because" needs a clause: S "he likes helping". Helping whom? R.
So the order is PQSR: "My brother wants to become a doctor because he likes helping people who are unwell."
Worth noting
QPSR opens with "become a doctor because", which has no subject. "My brother wants to" must come first.
