Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Q opens: it names Mr Khan and his pigeons. R is what "he" does every morning.
S is the pigeons flying, T is "after half an hour", and P is what he says about "his whistle".
So the order is QRSTP.
Worth noting
QRTSP brings the pigeons back before they have been seen flying.
