P. the goat ate
Q. we were at the market
R. our garden while
S. all the flowers in
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer C
Correct answer: C
Explanation
P has the subject and the verb. Ate what? S "all the flowers in", and "in" needs a place: R.
R ends on "while", which needs a clause: Q.
So the order is PSRQ: "The goat ate all the flowers in our garden while we were at the market."
Worth noting
SPRQ opens with "all the flowers in", which has no verb before it.
