CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Q opens: it sets the scene. S follows: the driver gets down to see why the bus stopped.
R says what "he" found, and P says how the passengers helped "him" move "the tree".
So the order is QSRP.

Worth noting

SQRP opens with the driver getting down before we know the bus has stopped.
