Q. could not see the road
R. under a bridge
S. hard that we
T. it was raining so
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A
Correct answer: A
Explanation
"So hard that" is a pair: T "it was raining so" and S "hard that we".
Q gives "we" its verb, and P adds a second action with "and", whose place is R.
So the order is TSQPR: "It was raining so hard that we could not see the road and had to stop under a bridge."
Worth noting
STQPR opens with "hard that we", which leaves "so" after the "that" it should come before.
