CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. "On no account" at the start turns the verb round: R "on no account must", then S "the medicine be", the subject and a plain verb.

  2. "Be" needs a past form: Q "given to children", and P says which children, completed by T.

  3. So the order is RSQPT: "On no account must the medicine be given to children under the age of twelve."

Worth noting

SRQPT opens with "the medicine be", which is wrong without "must" before it.
