Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. P has the subject and the verb, and T says where and brings "until", which needs a clause: Q.

  2. S says too dark for what and brings "and", which adds the last event: R.

  3. So the order is PTQSR: "The boys played cricket in the lane until it grew too dark to see the ball and their mothers called them home."

Worth noting

PTSQR puts "to see the ball and" straight after "until", which leaves "until" without a subject and a verb.
