P. a licence and for
Q. the man was fined
R. crossing a red light
S. for driving without
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer D
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Q is the main clause, and "fined for" needs an -ing word: S "for driving without".
"Without" needs a noun: P "a licence", then "and for" adds a second reason: R.
So the order is QSPR: "The man was fined for driving without a licence and for crossing a red light."
Worth noting
QPRS puts "a licence and for" straight after "fined", which cuts "without" off from "a licence".
