CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. Q names the subject and begins a comparison with "like", which needs whom: R "most farmers in".

  2. P completes "in the village," and gives the father his verb, "depends", which is followed by "on": S. T says for what.

  3. So the order is QRPST: "My father, like most farmers in the village, depends on the rains for a good harvest."

Worth noting

RQPST opens with "most farmers in", which leaves "my father, like" after the people it compares him with.
