Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
P opens: it names Sonal and her stomach ache. S is her mother's first answer.
T turns with "but", Q is the teacher and the nurse, and R is what the doctor found.
So the order is PSTQR.
Worth noting
PSQTR has the teacher take her to the nurse before she has even reached school.
