CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

R opens: it names the dabbawalas and their work. T is the first step: "each box is collected".
S says where "it" is carried, P is "after lunch", and Q describes the whole system.
So the order is RTSPQ.

Worth noting

TRSPQ opens with "each box", before we know what boxes are meant.
