R. the name of every
S. our area knows
T. the postwoman in
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A
Correct answer: A
Explanation
T begins the subject and ends on "in", which needs a place: S "our area", with the verb "knows".
Knows what? R "the name of every", and "every" needs a noun: P "family on". "On" needs Q.
So the order is TSRPQ: "The postwoman in our area knows the name of every family on her route."
Worth noting
STRPQ opens with "our area knows", which leaves "the postwoman in" after the words it needs.
