Answer
Correct Answer: PRSQ
Explanation
Given data
- Starter: 'We went'
- P: along the railway line
- R: where other people not allowed to go
- S: but daddy belonged to the railway
- Q: and had a right to
Concept/ApproachFirst set the route (P), then the restriction (R). Provide the exception (S) and conclude with the justification verb phrase (Q) attached to 'daddy'.
Step-by-step reconstructionCombine as: 'We went along the railway line where other people were not allowed to go, but daddy belonged to the railway and had a right to.'Sequence: PRSQ.
VerificationThe concessive 'but' correctly precedes the justification; Q naturally completes S.
Common pitfallsPlacing Q before S leaves 'and had a right to' without a clear subject.
Final AnswerCorrect order: PRSQ.
