CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. "Only when" at the start turns the main clause round. Q needs its past form, R "announced", which then brings "did the students".

  2. "Did the students" needs a plain verb: S "realise how much". How much what? P.

  3. So the order is QRSP: "Only when the results were announced did the students realise how much the extra classes had helped."

Worth noting

RQSP opens with "announced", which has no subject: "only when the results were" must come before it.
