P. throw plastic bags into
Q. please do not
R. the river because they
S. harm the fish
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Q begins a request, and "do not" needs a verb: P "throw plastic bags into".
"Into" needs a place: R "the river", then "because they" begins the reason. S gives its verb.
So the order is QPRS: "Please do not throw plastic bags into the river because they harm the fish."
Worth noting
QRSP puts "the river because they" straight after "do not", which cuts "do not" off from its verb "throw".
