Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. Q begins the subject, and P describes the birds: "that fly south every winter".

  2. Then the subject's own verb: S "stop at this lake", and R says why they stop.

  3. So the order is QPSR: "Hundreds of birds that fly south every winter stop at this lake to rest and feed."

Worth noting

QSPR puts "stop at this lake" before "that fly south every winter", which makes "that fly" describe the lake, and a lake cannot fly.
