Q. samosas in town
R. at the end of our lane
S. there is a small shop
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B
Correct answer: B
Explanation
S says what there is, and R says where it is.
P describes the shop with "that sells", ending on "the best", which needs a noun: Q "samosas".
So the order is SRPQ: "There is a small shop at the end of our lane that sells the best samosas in town."
Worth noting
SRQP ends on "that sells the best", which leaves "the best" with no noun.
