CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

P opens: it names Anil and his errand. Q is what he did "at the market".
S is "on the way home", and T is Anil helping "him", the old man. R is the end: reaching home late.
So the order is PQSTR.

Worth noting

PSQTR puts the way home before the market, so he meets the old man before buying anything.
