Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
After the opening sentence, R is the first job, at five.
P is her mother's work, S is "by seven", when the trucks come, and Q is how Meenakshi helps "before school", which leads to her leaving at eight in the closing sentence.
So the order is RPSQ.
Worth noting
RPQS has Meenakshi carrying plates before the first trucks have arrived.
