Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (A) P–4; Q–3; R–5; S–1

Explanation

P has two canted corners and is double cant(4). Q changes the plan angle and is a squint(3). R provides the sloped profile along the stretcher face(5); S provides it at the header end(1). Hence A. Bird’s-mouth bricks instead have a re-entrant angular notch.
