Q. Grandfather tells us
R. to sleep
S. before we go
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Q has the subject and the verb, and "tells us" needs what: P "a story every night".
"Before" begins a clause: S "we go", and "go" needs where: R "to sleep".
So the order is QPSR: "Grandfather tells us a story every night before we go to sleep."
Worth noting
QPRS ends on "before we go", with "to sleep" moved in front of it, so "before" has no clause to finish.
