P. my aunt, who teaches
Q. is coming to stay
R. science at a school in Bhopal,
S. with us for a week
T. during the holidays
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
P names the subject and begins a "who" clause, which R finishes, closed by a comma.
Then the aunt's verb: Q "is coming to stay". S says with whom and for how long, and T says when.
So the order is PRQST: "My aunt, who teaches science at a school in Bhopal, is coming to stay with us for a week during the holidays."
Worth noting
RPQST opens with "science at a school in Bhopal,", which has no verb before it.
