CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

R opens: it names the children and the snowman. S says what "they" gave "him".
Q says "last of all", so it follows the carrot and stones. P is "by the afternoon", later that day.
So the order is RSQP.

Worth noting

SRQP opens with "they gave him", before the children and the snowman are named.
