Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. Q ends on "refused to", which needs a verb: S "take back the shirt".

  2. R gives the reason, and "had lost" needs an object: P.

  3. So the order is QSRP: "The shopkeeper refused to take back the shirt because I had lost the bill."

Worth noting

QSPR ends on "because I had lost", with "the bill" moved before "because", so "lost" has no object.
