CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. P is the main clause. Left with whom? R, which ends on "because".

  2. "Because" needs a clause: S "nobody was at home", and Q says why someone was needed.

  3. So the order is PRSQ: "The parcel was left with our neighbour because nobody was at home to sign for it."

Worth noting

PSRQ puts "nobody was at home" right after "was left", which leaves "with our neighbour because" floating.
