Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer D
Correct answer: D
Explanation
P has the subject and the verb, and Q ends on "to", which needs a verb: S "see the train".
R says what the train was doing.
So the order is PQSR: "We reached the station just in time to see the train pulling out of the platform."
Worth noting
QPRS opens with "just in time to", which has no subject or verb before it.
