CorrectNot quiteAnswer B
Correct answer: B
Explanation
P opens: it names Vikram and his failures. Q is "the first time".
T is "the second time", S is "before the third test", and R is "this time".
So the order is PQTSR.
Worth noting
PQSTR puts the practice for the third test before the second failure.
