Opening: Every winter, a family of cranes comes to the lake near our village.
P. All winter, they wade in the shallow water and feed on roots and small fish.

Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
After the opening sentence, S says when "they" arrive.
P is "all winter", R is "in March", and Q is "one morning in April".
So the order is SPRQ.
Worth noting
SRPQ puts March before the winter it follows.
