CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. "So strong was the wind" turns the usual order round, and "so" is answered by "that": S, then P.

  2. R completes the subject, "several trees along the highway", and gives it "were", which needs a past form: Q.

  3. So the order is SPRQ: "So strong was the wind that several trees along the highway were pulled out by their roots."

Worth noting

PSRQ opens with "that several trees", with no "so" before it for "that" to answer.
