CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. P names the subject and begins a phrase about it with "built". S says when, closed by a comma.

  2. Then the temple's verb: Q "still stands on", and "on" needs a place: R.

  3. So the order is PSQR: "The old temple, built more than a thousand years ago, still stands on the bank of the river."

Worth noting

PQRS puts "still stands on the bank of the river" straight after "built", which leaves "more than a thousand years ago," at the end.
