EnglishOrdering of Words in a Sentence
- AQ P S R
- BQ S R P
- CP Q S R
- DP R Q S
Explanation
The only coherent assembly is Q S R P: '...knew all the birds of the forest and was accustomed to capturing the winged creatures by the hundred by means of snares.' Q opens the clause, S continues the verb phrase, R ('by the hundred') gives the quantity, and P ('by means of snares') closes with the method. Hence the answer is B.
