Options for question 187

Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. T begins the subject, and "who" needs a verb: P "discovered the new species".

  2. R says what kind of species and where. Then the subject's own verb comes: S "has named it". Q says after whom.

  3. So the order is TPRSQ: "The scientist who discovered the new species of frog in the Western Ghats has named it after her grandmother."

Worth noting

TRPSQ puts "of frog in the Western Ghats" right after "who", which gives "who" no verb.
