CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. "Such was the noise ... that" is a fixed frame: P opens it, and Q says where the noise came from.

  2. S brings "that" and the result, and R says why they shouted.

  3. So the order is PQSR: "Such was the noise from the building site that we had to shout to be heard across the table."

Worth noting

QPSR opens with "from the building site", a phrase with nothing to attach to. "Such was the noise" must come first.
