P. a pinch of salt to
Q. serving it to the guests
R. the cook added
S. the dal before
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A
Correct answer: A
Explanation
R has the subject and the verb. Added what? P "a pinch of salt to", and "to" needs a noun: S "the dal before".
"Before" is followed by an -ing word here: Q "serving it to the guests".
So the order is RPSQ: "The cook added a pinch of salt to the dal before serving it to the guests."
Worth noting
PRSQ opens with "a pinch of salt to", which has no verb before it.
