Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. "After" begins a time clause: T, finished by P "was over," which brings the main subject, "the players".

  2. Q gives them their verb, "shook hands with", which needs whom: R. "And" brings S.

  3. So the order is TPQRS: "After the match was over, the players shook hands with each other and walked off the field."

Worth noting

PTQRS opens with "was over, the players", which has no subject for "was over".
