CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

P opens: it names the event. Q says "it had been loose for a week".
S is "at dinner", when it came out, T is how excited he was, and R is what he did with the tooth.
So the order is PQSTR.

Worth noting

PQTSR has him too excited to eat before the tooth has come out.
