P. the school will remain
Q. because of the
R. closed on Monday
S. local elections
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer D
Correct answer: D
Explanation
P ends on "remain", which needs a word that says how: R "closed on Monday".
Q gives the reason with "because of the", and "the" needs a noun: S.
So the order is PRQS: "The school will remain closed on Monday because of the local elections."
Worth noting
PQRS puts "because of the" right after "remain", which cuts "remain" off from "closed".
