Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. R is the subject, and S gives the verb and "not only books".

  2. "Not only" is answered by "but also": Q, whose list ends with "maps", and P closes it with "and old magazines".

  3. So the order is RSQP: "The shop on the corner sells not only books but also pens, maps and old magazines."

Worth noting

RQPS puts "but also pens, maps" straight after "the shop on the corner", before the verb and before "not only".
