CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

P opens with a saying. Q says "this", the saying, is only partly true.
S gives the part where money helps, and R turns with "but" to where it does not.
So the order is PQSR.

Worth noting

QPSR opens with "this is only partly true", before anything has been said.
