CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. P has the subject and the verb, and "says" is followed by a "that" clause: R, which ends on "may".

  2. "May" needs a plain verb: T "be parked within", and "within" needs a distance: Q, which "of" links to S.

  3. So the order is PRTQS: "The new rule says that no vehicle may be parked within fifty metres of the school gate."

Worth noting

RPTQS opens with "that no vehicle may", which leaves "the new rule says" after the words it introduces.
