P. so great was
Q. that the organisers
R. a second show
S. the demand for tickets
T. had to add
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B
Correct answer: B
Explanation
"So great was" turns the usual order round: P, then the subject: S.
"So" is answered by "that": Q is the result's subject, T its verb, and R what they added.
So the order is PSQTR: "So great was the demand for tickets that the organisers had to add a second show."
Worth noting
PQSTR puts "that the organisers" straight after "so great was", which leaves "was" with no subject.
