Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Q opens: it names Rajesh and his goal. P says what "he" did once he bought "it".
S picks out "one of his photos", and R is "now", the result.
So the order is QPSR.
Worth noting
PQSR opens with "he" and "it", which have nothing to point to yet.
