Opening: Every Saturday, Kavita helps her grandfather in his vegetable shop.
P. Together they arrange the tomatoes, onions and potatoes in neat piles.
Q. When the customers start coming, she weighs the vegetables while he takes the money.

S. At noon, they close for lunch and share the food her grandmother has packed.
Closing: In the afternoon, Kavita goes home tired but happy, with a bag of fresh fruit.
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
After the opening sentence, R is the start of the day: she reaches the shop at seven.
P is the next job, setting out the vegetables "together". Q comes "when the customers start coming", and S is "at noon", which leads to the afternoon in the closing sentence.
So the order is RPQS.
Worth noting
RQPS serves customers before the vegetables have been set out.
