P. she was the first
Q. to become a pilot
R. and fly
S. woman from her village
T. passenger planes
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B
Correct answer: B
Explanation
P ends on "the first", which needs a noun: S "woman from her village".
"The first ... to" is followed by a verb: Q, and R adds a second verb with "and", which needs an object: T.
So the order is PSQRT: "She was the first woman from her village to become a pilot and fly passenger planes."
Worth noting
PSRQT puts "and fly" before "to become a pilot", so "and" joins nothing.
