Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B
Correct answer: B
Explanation
'rivers' is in the first and third sentences: 'ter'.
'hills' is in the second and third: 'nu'.
The third sentence 'ter be nu' leaves 'be' for 'from'.
Worth noting
The codes for 'flow' and 'down' cannot be separated ('pi' or 'ga'), and neither can 'stand' and 'tall'. That does not matter: 'from' is fixed.
