P. every night and
Q. the watchman locks
R. opens it at six
S. the gate at ten
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer D
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Q has the subject and the verb. Locks what, and when? S.
P says how often and brings "and", and R adds the second action.
So the order is QSPR: "The watchman locks the gate at ten every night and opens it at six."
Worth noting
SQPR opens with "the gate at ten", which has no verb before it.
