CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. "On no account" at the start turns the verb round: S "on no account should", then the subject and a plain verb: P.

  2. R says until when, and "has" needs a past form: Q "collected every answer sheet".

  3. So the order is SPRQ: "On no account should students leave the hall before the invigilator has collected every answer sheet."

Worth noting

PSRQ opens with "students leave the hall", which could be a plain sentence, but then "on no account should" is left with no subject.
