P. drops us back
Q. our school bus picks
R. us up at seven and
S. at two in the afternoon
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Q ends on "picks", which is completed by "us up": R "us up at seven and".
"And" brings a second action: P "drops us back", and S says when.
So the order is QRPS: "Our school bus picks us up at seven and drops us back at two in the afternoon."
Worth noting
RQPS opens with "us up at seven and", which has no subject. The bus must come first.
