CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. S has the subject and the first action, which needs an object: P "the lights,", then "locked", the second action.

  2. "Locked" needs an object: Q "the door", then "and went", the third. T says where and brings "because", and R gives the reason.

  3. So the order is SPQTR: "She turned off the lights, locked the door and went to bed early because she was very tired."

Worth noting

SQPTR puts "the door and went" straight after "turned off", which makes her turn off the door.
