CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. "Although" begins a clause that needs a main clause after a comma. R gives "although the road was", and S finishes it: "full of potholes,".

  2. S ends on "the bus", and P completes "the bus driver", the main subject, with his verb. Q begins with "and", adding what he did next.

  3. So the order is RSPQ: "Although the road was full of potholes, the bus driver kept to his time and reached the city by noon."

Worth noting

RSQP reads well up to "the bus", then "and reached the city" arrives before the driver who did it.
