Q. the idea of
R. a retired teacher
S. building a library in
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Q begins the subject, and "of" needs an -ing word: S "building a library in".
"In" needs a place: P "the village", with the verb "came from", and "from" needs whom: R.
So the order is QSPR: "The idea of building a library in the village came from a retired teacher."
Worth noting
SQRP opens with "building a library in", which leaves "the idea of" after the idea itself.
