Opening: It was the day of the school sports meet.
P. In the afternoon, he ran the last leg of the relay for his house.
Q. The morning began with the hundred-metre race, which Arun won by a hair.
R. After that came the long jump, where he came second.

Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
After the opening sentence, Q is "the morning" and the first race.
R is "after that", P is "in the afternoon", the relay, and S is how he ran that last leg, which leads to "that evening" in the closing sentence.
So the order is QRPS.
Worth noting
QPRS puts the long jump between the relay and the baton, which reaches him in the relay.
