Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. Q has the subject and the verb. Lent what? P.

  2. R gives the reason, and "had" needs an object: S.

  3. So the order is QPRS: "My friend lent me his bicycle for a day because mine had a flat tyre."

Worth noting

QPSR ends on "because mine had", with "a flat tyre" moved in front of it, so "had" is left with nothing.
