Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A
Correct answer: A
Explanation
R is the subject, and Q gives its verb, "kept the dogs".
S says which dogs and how they were kept: "awake". P says for how long.
So the order is RQSP: "The noise of the crackers kept the dogs in our street awake all night."
Worth noting
QRSP opens with "kept the dogs", a verb with no subject.
