CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

S opens: it names the play. Q says how the part was chosen: names from a box.
P says whose name came out, R is the three weeks of practice, and T is "on the night".
So the order is SQPRT.

Worth noting

SPQRT says "the name she pulled out" before anyone has drawn names.
