CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. S has the subject and the verb. Pulled what, and where? Q.

  2. "And" brings a second action: R "spread his nets", and P says what for.

  3. 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.
