CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. P has the subject and the verb, and R says to whom and begins a "that" clause with its subject, "the earth".

  2. Q gives the earth its verb, "takes a little more than", which needs an amount: S. T says what the time is for.

  3. So the order is PRQST: "The teacher explained to us that the earth takes a little more than three hundred and sixty-five days to go once round the sun."

Worth noting

PQRST puts "takes a little more than" straight after "explained", which leaves "to us that the earth" with no verb.
