CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Q opens: it names Sunita and her plan. R is the first thing "she" did: tea and toast on a tray.
S says "then" and puts the flower "beside the cup" from R. P is her mother's reaction, so it comes last.
So the order is QRSP.

Worth noting

RQSP opens with "she", who has not been named yet.
