CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. P begins the subject, and "whose" needs a noun and a verb: Q "house was destroyed".

  2. T says how and brings the main verb, "has", which needs a past form: S. R says by whom.

  3. So the order is PQTSR: "The man whose house was destroyed in the fire has been given shelter by his neighbours."

Worth noting

PQSTR puts "been given shelter" straight after "was destroyed", which leaves "in the fire has" with nothing after "has".
