R. many people in the village

Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer C
Correct answer: C
Explanation
R is the subject, and S gives its verb, ending on "from", which needs a place.
Q is that place, and P says where the well is.
So the order is RSQP: "Many people in the village still draw water from the old well near the temple."
Worth noting
SRQP opens with "still draw water from", a verb with no subject.
