P. in the branches of
Q. the kite got stuck
R. near our house
S. the tall neem tree
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Q has the subject and the verb. Stuck where? P "in the branches of", and "of" needs a noun: S.
R says where the tree stands, so it follows the tree.
So the order is QPSR: "The kite got stuck in the branches of the tall neem tree near our house."
Worth noting
QSPR puts "the tall neem tree" before "in the branches of", which leaves "of" pointing at "near our house".
