CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

R opens: it names the grandmother and her songs. T is "last summer", when Deepak decided to record "them".
P is how he did it, S is "by the end of the holidays", and Q is "now".
So the order is RTPSQ.

Worth noting

RPTSQ has him sit with his phone every evening before he has decided to record anything.
