Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. Q has the subject and the verb. Stole what? R "the bananas from", and "from" needs a place: S.

  2. S ends on "while", which needs a clause: T, and P says where they were busy.

  3. So the order is QRSTP: "The monkeys stole the bananas from our kitchen while we were busy in the garden."

Worth noting

QSRTP puts "our kitchen while" straight after "stole", which cuts "stole" off from "the bananas".
