Answer
Correct Answer: QSRP
Explanation
Given data
- Starter: 'I enclose'
- Q: a postal order
- S: which will cover
- R: the price of books
- P: and the postage
Concept/ApproachState the direct object first, then a defining relative clause ('which...') introducing what the postal order covers, followed by coordinated objects.
Step-by-step orderingConstruct: 'I enclose a postal order which will cover the price of books and the postage.' → Q → S → R → P.
Common pitfallsPutting P before R disrupts the natural 'cover X and Y' rhythm; placing S before Q leaves the relative pronoun without an antecedent.
