Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
S opens: it names Kiran and her fear. P is the task that frightened her.
T is her week of practice, Q is "on the day", and R is when she finished.
So the order is SPTQR.
Worth noting
STPQR puts her week of practice before she knows she has to speak.
