Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. Q has the subject and the verb, and "asked" is followed by whom and "to": P "all shops to stop".

  2. "Stop" is followed by an -ing word: T. S adds a second request with "and to", and R completes it.

  3. So the order is QPTSR: "The government has asked all shops to stop selling plastic bags and to give customers cloth bags instead."

Worth noting

PQTSR opens with "all shops to stop", which has no main verb before it.
