CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. Q names the subject and begins "most of", which is completed by "whom": R, closed by a comma.

  2. Then the subject's verb: P "learned to use the internet", and S says how fast.

  3. So the order is QRPS: "The villagers, most of whom had never seen a computer, learned to use the internet within a few weeks."

Worth noting

QPRS puts "learned to use the internet" straight after "most of", which gives "of" no "whom" to finish it.
