CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

R opens: it names the old woman. P is the young man's question to "her".
T is her answer, S finishes it with "if she charged more", and Q is what the young man did.
So the order is RPTSQ.

Worth noting

RTPSQ gives her answer before the young man has asked his question.
