CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. "Only by" at the start turns the verb round: R, then S "can the villagers hope".

  2. "Hope" is followed by "to" and a verb: P, and "save their fields" is completed by Q.

  3. So the order is RSPQ: "Only by working together can the villagers hope to save their fields from the floods."

Worth noting

RPSQ puts "to save their fields" before "can the villagers hope", which leaves "hope" with nothing to hope for.
