Q. the students cleaned
R. planted twenty
S. saplings along the wall
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer C
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Q has the subject and the verb. Cleaned what? P, which ends on "and".
"And" brings a second action: R "planted twenty", and "twenty" needs a noun: S.
So the order is QPRS: "The students cleaned the whole playground and planted twenty saplings along the wall."
Worth noting
QPSR ends on "planted twenty", which leaves the number with no noun.
