Options for question 31

Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. S has the subject and the verb. Sat where? Q.

  2. P says what he was doing, and "to" needs whom he fed: R.

  3. So the order is SQPR: "The old man sat on a bench in the park feeding grains to the pigeons around him."

Worth noting

SPQR puts "feeding grains to" before the bench, which splits "sat" from where he sat and "to" from the pigeons.
