CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

P opens: it describes the school. R says how "she", the one teacher, divided her day.
S shows the older children helping, and Q sums it up with "in this way".
So the order is PRSQ.

Worth noting

RPSQ opens with "she", before the teacher has been mentioned.
