Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. Q has the subject and the verb. "Asked" is followed by the people asked: R "the students to write".

  2. Write what? S "a short essay on", and "on" needs a topic: P.

  3. So the order is QRSP: "The teacher asked the students to write a short essay on their favourite festival."

Worth noting

RQSP opens with "the students to write", which has no verb of its own. "The teacher asked" must come first.
