CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Q is the main clause, and P says why: "for repairs,". The comma then brings a result: "forcing".
"Forcing" needs to say whom: R "thousands of commuters", then what they were forced to do: S.
So the order is QPRS: "The bridge was closed for repairs, forcing thousands of commuters to take a longer route."

Worth noting

QPSR puts "to take a longer route" right after "forcing". English says "forcing someone to do", not "forcing to do someone".
