P. on reaching the top
Q. a view of the whole valley
R. were rewarded with
S. of the hill, we
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B
Correct answer: B
Explanation
"On reaching" needs a place: P, then S "of the hill," and the main subject, "we".
R gives "we" its verb, "were rewarded with", and "with" needs a noun: Q.
So the order is PSRQ: "On reaching the top of the hill, we were rewarded with a view of the whole valley."
Worth noting
PRSQ puts "were rewarded with" after "the top", which cuts "the top" off from "of the hill".
