Given data

  • Starter: 'It is easier'
  • Q: for men
  • P: to venture into space
  • S: than to explore

Concept/ApproachThe comparative construction 'easier for X to do A than to do B (somewhere)' dictates the order: beneficiary (Q), first infinitive (P), comparator (S), and the adverbial complement (R).

Step-by-step reconstruction1) Q → 'for men'.2) P → 'to venture into space'.3) S → 'than to explore'.4) R → 'beneath their feet'.Sequence: QPSR.

VerificationFull sentence: 'It is easier for men to venture into space than to explore beneath their feet.'

Common pitfallsPlacing R before S creates a dangling phrase; omitting Q weakens the comparative complement 'for men'.
