P. out to dry in the sun
Q. his boat onto the sand
R. and spread his nets
S. the fisherman pulled
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer C
Correct answer: C
Explanation
S has the subject and the verb. Pulled what, and where? Q.
"And" brings a second action: R "spread his nets", and P says what for.
So the order is SQRP: "The fisherman pulled his boat onto the sand and spread his nets out to dry in the sun."
Worth noting
SRQP puts "and spread his nets" before the boat, which splits "pulled" from what he pulled.
