Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. R has the subject and the verb, and "as soon as the" begins the time clause: Q.

  2. S completes "the lights went out", and P says when.

  3. So the order is RQSP: "The baby started crying as soon as the lights went out during the storm."

Worth noting

RSQP puts "lights went out" straight after "started crying", which runs two sentences together and leaves "as soon as the" before "during".
