CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. Q has the subject and the verb. Collected what? T. From where? S, and P says where the houses are, then brings "and".

  2. "And" adds the second action: R.

  3. So the order is QTSPR: "The children collected old clothes and books from every house in the colony and gave them to the orphanage."

Worth noting

QTPSR puts "in the colony and" before "from every house", which leaves "from every house" stuck before "gave".
