P. the rain was so heavy
Q. turned into rivers
R. within an hour
S. that the streets
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A
Correct answer: A
Explanation
P begins the "so ... that" pair with "so heavy", and S brings "that" and the result's subject.
Q gives "the streets" their verb, and R says how fast.
So the order is PSQR: "The rain was so heavy that the streets turned into rivers within an hour."
Worth noting
PQSR puts "turned into rivers" straight after "so heavy", which cuts "so" off from "that".
