T. the fish swimming
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Q begins the subject and ends on "the", which needs a noun: P "pond", with "was so clear".
"So" is answered by "that": S. See what? T, and R says where.
So the order is QPSTR: "The water in the pond was so clear that we could see the fish swimming near the bottom."
Worth noting
PQSTR opens with "pond was so clear", which leaves "the water in the" after the word it needs.
