CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

R opens with the bus times. Q says what happens "if you miss the morning bus".
S is Sunil missing "it", T is what he did "instead of waiting", and P is the result.
So the order is RQSTP.

Worth noting

RQTSP has him walk home "instead of waiting" before he has missed the bus.
