P. the manager promised
Q. within a week
R. and to reply
S. to look into the complaint
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B
Correct answer: B
Explanation
P has the subject and the verb, and "promised" is followed by "to" and a verb: S.
R adds a second promise with "and to", and Q says by when.
So the order is PSRQ: "The manager promised to look into the complaint and to reply within a week."
Worth noting
PRSQ puts "and to reply" before the first promise, so "and" comes with nothing before it to join.
