CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

P has the subject and the verb. Knocked where? S "on the door twice but".
"But" brings the contrast: Q "nobody answered". R says why.
So the order is PSQR: "The postman knocked on the door twice but nobody answered because the family was away."

Worth noting

SPQR opens with "on the door twice but", which has no subject or verb before it.
