Q. on the lines given
R. all the answers must
S. below each question
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer C
Correct answer: C
Explanation
R begins with the subject and "must", which needs a plain verb: P "be written in ink".
Q says where, and "given" is completed by S: "below each question".
So the order is RPQS: "All the answers must be written in ink on the lines given below each question."
Worth noting
RQPS puts "on the lines given" straight after "must", which cuts "must" off from its verb, "be written".
